Thanksgiving Carbfest

Posted by mobile phone:

The U.S. has just celebrated another Thanksgiving Day. The fourth Thursday of every November is set aside so that we may gather and remember what we’re thankful for. Most families celebrate with a HUGE feast of some kind. Even the some of the poorest families will somehow manage to cook enough food to feed a small country. For the ones that can’t, many churches and civic groups will put out a feast that any are welcome to attend.

Reflecting on what I’m thankful for, this year I seem to be a little more sensitive to my mortality. We have attended too many funerals of friends and family. Since I am the only child of an only child, my family is very small to begin with. I know that too soon there will be no one left who remembers the time the kitten ran up Granny’s pant leg. Others will know the stories, but no one will have been there with me. Like many others, I am thankful for all the time I get to spend with my loved ones. I’m also thankful for all of the leftovers. Since we are such a small family, there’s not many to divide up all that food! I’ve been eating turkey and ham for a solid week now.

Maybe this is why so many people have what is known as a mid-life crisis. You notice suddenly that your future years are not as great in number as your years past, and you still haven’t made out with a redhead in a corvette.
