Thanksgiving Day, 2026

 THANKSGIVING DAY 2026

Another Thanksgiving Day is just about over. It has been an especially quiet one for me having a minor head cold, and spending the day on my own.

But I am grateful that most family members made it to share Thanksgiving Dinner together, and I am grateful that each one is in good health. I have a wonderful family; one in which everyone gets along and each one shares love & caring for one another.

I am very grateful for wonderful friends, some I've known and loved for years as well as others I've known for only a short time; some I am getting to know, and some I have yet to meet. I value all my friendships.

I couldn't be more grateful for my little Misty. Always a dog person, I had no idea that my affectionate little cat would be such a wonderful companion and confidante. She and I are two old ladies sharing the journey together.

I am very grateful for my passions of creative writing and acrylic painting. When I immerse myself in either, a day simply disappears.

My health could be better but my health could be much worse. I am grateful for each day I am given. I love living in Elliot Lake. I love life.

I love the trees outside my window. They are the reason I fell in love with my apartment. They provide shade and keep me cool throughout a hot summer. They offer amazing protection when the wind rages in winter. They offer me privacy in my home. I am grateful for their gift of oxygen. I'm sure it is because of my trees and the clean air of Elliot Lake that I'm as well as I am.

This Thanksgiving of 2026 I am very grateful for all that is good in my life. I am blessed that there is so very much that is good and positive. Life is good.

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving
