Thanksgiving 2015
There have been years that I have spent a week on this one topic. There have been years that I don’t post anything. And there are years, like this one, that I post on the day of Thanksgiving.
First of all I am so very thankful for my family both blood and extended. They have been in my corner unconditionally this year. Special very thank you to my parents for coming to the rescue in a pretty dire situation.
I am thankful for all my friends. I have a lot of friends and there was a time that I didn’t think I had any but now I know better. I don’t get to see all of you as much as I would like and some of you I have only gotten to know because of this wondrous World Wide Web. So thanks for being here. I did get to meet a number of people that I had only known through the Internet this year which was really neat.
I am thankful for the adventures I have had this year. Done some pretty cool things and met some interesting folks because of it. Made some new friends too.
A number of these things happened because I make puppets. I am thankful I have the ability to build puppets that amuse others. I am realizing that I am pretty good at it. I discovered that I am able to build things that I thought I could not build. I learned a few skills along the way as well.
I am thankful for everything that has entertained me this year which is a really long list.
I am thankful that Peter is still around. Yes, the stroke was three years ago but I am still happy and grateful that he has recovered considering all the things that could have happened and didn’t. He’s lucky to be alive and intact and we are lucky to have him.
I am thankful to the fans. What a writer does can be in a vacuum as they do it. They get feedback after they are all done. I like hearing fans tell Peter that they appreciate his writing or a personal story about how his writing has helped them. I appreciate the fans that take time to talk to me or tell me about how Peter has made their world a little better through his work.
I am thankful for Caroline who is turning 13 in less than two weeks. She is growing up to be such a strong and caring person who has strong opinions on a lot of topics, which she has researched to get more information for intelligent conversation.
I am thankful for our pets. Millie is still chugging along although he is slowing down. Fig is Caroline’s cat above all others. Inky is the Chaos Cat but is very loving on her terms. They are there for us and we for them.
Today we celebrate with family and friends and I am thankful for that.
I am grateful that I have so much to be thankful for.
