What, it’s Thanksgiving already?? This year has rushed by, and the recent run of September-like warm days have made it easy to believe that fall is just getting started. Also, I’ve thought almost not at all about food preparations for today’s feast (thanks to the younger generation taking charge), so my favorite holiday has kind of snuck up on me.
And yet I’ve been feeling thankful, almost every day. So today I’m going to list five reasons for this daily drip of grateful-attitude (otherwise known as gr-attitude)—without taking up too much of your holiday.
1. I have satisfying “work” that almost never seems like a chore.
2. I am able to (mostly) carve out my own life.
3. I get a lot of time on the water, year round.
4. I am healthy, and so are those around me.
5. My work makes me wiser every day as I listen to my elders (and some youngers, too).
Last but not least, the bonus reason for my daily gr-attitude: YOU. Thanks for reading what I put out each week. If you have a moment, please share what you are most appreciating on this special day—especially if it relates to books and/or boats.
Cheers to all, thanks for being here, and “see” you next Thursday.
Halleluia, and AMEN!
Thanks Art and have a great holiday!
I am thankful for late November walks to Fort Getty and sharing gratitude with a good friend. Cheers today.
Me too! Let’s make it an annual event.
