Thanksgiving dinner

[anysia]

Son didn't show up, aikidomayland didn't show up. Invited neighbor, Ben, over for dinner, so not all was lost.

I am thankful that I am walking on my own, I am thankful that both sons (and their respective families) are hale and healthy.

I miss my Aunt, I miss my Uncle.

Watching what is going on Mumbai. Such brave terrorists, going after unarmed civilians. My prayers to the people caught in the middle of this, and my sympathies to the families of those who have died.

In our small worlds we have so much to give thanks for, but then in our whole world that is now so close and connected, giving thanks can seem so wrong at times like this.

We don't have thanksgiving over here, and it's only this week while an American friend has been visiting that I learned what it was all about. We were planning a thanksgiving class for her and I was really getting into the associations between what it must mean to you all, and the array of cultures that are represented in my classes (I'm in a university town with an international language school) who also 'get' the ethos of ATS. Unfortunately she had to cancel so it wasn't quite the same, but we went ahead anyway. There are lots of parallels there with the world today..

*Sends you small world thanksgiving wishes, and whole-world hugs*
