We played "pay it forward" after our Thanksgiving dinner and everyone got a chance to express their appreciation for different people and to be appreciated by someone else. Even my 6-year old granddaughter said she appreciated her grandpa teaching her how to draw and do magic. It was a memorable and satisfying way to end our celebration.

My youngest diagnosed with bipolar two years ago, my other son, college grad and no work, me a breast cancer survivor, but, but, but, we have food on the table that we share with Dad. My in laws still love me. We give thanks. I give thanks I have a social service job I love and gives me satisfaction every single day. I give thanks for the little cottage I found in Walnut Creek, that I can afford, that brings me all manner of wild life which I feed and enjoy watching. I'm grateful for wonderful friends that have made the transitions in my life tolerable and less lonely. I give thanks to a power greater than myself for always carrying me when I feel like giving up. I am truly grateful for all of it when I bother to be grateful. So easy to wallow. I hear stories daily that make mine pale in comparison. I am blessed even through hardship.
