Giving thanks

1084671_autumn_wildlife_3I’ll be taking a few much-needed days off for the Thanksgiving holiday now. I wanted to leave you with two things, one of which should make you happy, depending what mood you’re in:

The first one is: my sister site, Mix That Drink, has an article featuring ten Thanksgiving cocktail recipes. Lots of yummy ideas and inspiration there!

The second thing is just this: I’ve got a lot I’m thankful for, and I don’t want to list any of it because it’s kind of personal – and also, a lot of people wouldn’t get it. For example, “I love learning, and thanks to the internet and the research skills I learned in school, I can educate myself somewhat on almost any topic, in almost no time, compared to the days when the only option was going to a library.” Most people would not get why that’s something I’m actually grateful for, but there are days I just glow at the thought that I can look something up on the ‘net and in fifteen minutes, I will be a more knowledgeable person. It’s brilliant!

But the point is, I am grateful, and I do think it’s a good idea to have a once a year holiday that makes us think about it.

If you’d like to list what you’re grateful for in comments, please feel free!
