Your Escape Into A Good Book Travel Agent 
Mr. Dollycas is working again this Thanksgiving and since it will just be the two of us we are planning an Italian meal with Lasagna and Buttery Breadsticks.
We hope you are enjoying the day
with the people you love.
It will be a bit of an unusual Thanksgiving for us this year because Mr. Dollycas has been scheduled to work and it will be just him and I enjoying the meal after he punches out. All the kids and grands will be celebrating with others.
We do have a lot to be thankful for this year. We both had no huge medical issues this year as in years past. Daughter #1 and Son #2 both got engaged in July. Our new granddaughter Athena arrived in August. All the grands are healthy and happy. We were able to travel to a lot more of their athletic events this year with Mr. Dollycas using his vacation time wisely. We are blessed that our children live nearby so we get to see them and their children often and they never fail to brighten our days.
“Let’s be grateful for what we have. Let’s be mindful of those who have less. Let’s appreciate those who hold a special place in our lives, and make sure that they know it.”
~Barack Obama
I hope you are enjoying your day with family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have so many things to be thankful for this year but it really comes down to people.
The wonderful new people that entered my life this year, the people I met last year that stuck around to see me through ongoing issues, the people I have met online like you, the people I met unexpectedly, the friends I have had forever, and those I recently reconnected with, and my family, the champions, that have stuck with me through thick and thin.
It was another year of medical drama, some of which got very serious, but I was surrounded by people virtually and physically who picked me up and saw me through the pain and the fear. There was a young man who I will probably never see again whose presence let me know there are angels everywhere.
It was a year filled with fun as I had the joy of watching my grandkids excel at sports and school. It included seeing a “bucket list” concert with my daughters. It included family getting together for holidays and birthdays. It included family and friends just coming to visit, and grandchildren staying overnight, for the weekend, or for a week or more.
It is the people in my life that give my life meaning. Hearing how serious the infection was in my arm and that I could have lost my arm or the fact that if it had not been found when we did it could have killed me really made me take stock of everything about my life. I am still dealing with some side effects/conditions that affect the choices I make in my life or that can abruptly change my plans but I hope that changes soon. Most days I feel as good as I did before cancer struck and on those days I was to be present in the people’s lives who have seen me through the good times and bad. The people that I am thankful for today.
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
— Marcel ProustHappy Thanksgiving! May you be surrouded by people that make you happy today and every day!
