A few thoughts (pictures too) on Thanksgiving...

11/27/2013

When Rick, Dave, and I arrived at the restaurant (Moonraker) in Rockaway Beach the temp was a somewhat balmy 66 degrees (F).  Now at 11pm, the temp is a much cooler 52 degrees (F) and I have now shut all the windows that were open in my wee home.  As I sit here listening to fantastic jazz on a station that is located Santa Rosa, occasionally lifting my eyes to gaze at the sparkling lights on the Christmas tree, I cannot help but reflect upon the fact that I am most assuredly blessed with love and laughter in my life...and for that I am deeply thankful.  This year more so than ever I am enjoying a thankful Thanksgiving.  I am happy.  All sorts of things happen in this version of life that we know and are now traveling through.  We declare these things good or bad as we travel the journey.  All sorts of people enter and leave our lives also on this journey...and along the way we declare whether they are good or bad and or whether the situation is good or bad.  Physical things happen in this journey of life and once again it is up to us to decide whether they are good or bad.  Dr. Wayne Dyer has said "we cannot control what comes into our life or happens in our life, but we most certainly can control how we react to these events."



So, in summary, each of these things...these events...these people...make up the rich fabric that is each and every-ones life.  Our thankfulness and happiness, then, are the golden threads that are woven through this rich fabric and tie it all together making one incredible whole.


On this eve of Thanksgiving I wish all of you a blessed holiday.

Appetizers before dinner: Barolo Miso "something" (I can't remember the full name) and crabcakes made with fresh Dungeness crab.

Dinner tonight at Moonraker Restaurant in the Rockaway Beach area of Pacifica. My selection, pictured here, was the wild boar bolognese.

Even though it is not December yet, I've made an exception and the Christmas tree is now up and waiting for decorations.
