Thanksgivin’

My sister and I spent our Thanksgiving, and her birthday, in Palo Alto with some family friends. The table seated ten others connected through Martina, all very interesting people. We shared an excellent meal of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy, yams, green beans, and salad. Apple and pumpkin pies and birthday cake for dessert. Conversations throughout the day never left a warm and inviting tone. I never got frustrated with what we were talking about or, more specifically, what people were saying within those conversations. No elevated discussions about the economic crisis or the seperation of church and state, although we talked about that. No concerned tone that suggests unsatisfaction about what I’m doing with my life, although we talked about that, too. It was a great Thanksgiving.
