A few more days until Thanksgiving, a few more days till family, and a few days of rest before back in that swift time before the holidays, such a joyful time, but busier than most of the year. This week celebrating different moments:
- Students who sit and talk of their goals for work with passion and enthusiasm. It's a gift to me to be able to have those conversations.
- A Friday trip where an hour into the mountains, the bus started smoking, and I made it to a stopping place, a helpful colleague came to the rescue--with another bus--and we were able to carry on with the trip. Flexibility was key, but what a day!
- Shopping for dinner with my granddaughter and trying hard not to laugh as she carefully examined a few frozen packages to see what she might like. (Pictures mean a lot to those who cannot yet read, and Stauffer's won the day.)
- Spending a few hours shopping with my daughter last Sunday. We are both so busy that a few hours is a treasure.
- Looking forward to this coming Thanksgiving with all the family. My son, daughter-in-law and grandson will be here!
Happy Thanksgiving with friends and family, wherever you are, whatever you enjoy on your table.
From John Fitzgerald Kennedy: "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

Hi LInda,
Thanks for sharing your small moments and reminding us that we all have so much to be thankful for every day. I especially enjoyed hearing about your shopping experience and the choice of food-pictures sell don't they?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Amy, it's great to hear from you! I hope you're posting today so I can see what you're up to. Yes, those pictures do sell! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
The mixture of moments - a mosaic of life. Mother-daughter, grandmother -granddaughter time are treasures indeed.
Thanks, Terje. I always appreciate your response!
Important quote by JFK!! Your celebrations are sweet. Glad someone came to the bus rescue! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Oh my goodness, the bus incident - yikes! Glad you were rescued! I am giggling over your shopping trip with your granddaughter. Very cute.
Thanks Holly, hope you and your family have a lovely Thanksgiving, too!
It was quite a day with the bus, but all turned out fine! Thanks, Carrie!
Hope, flexibility and some frozen dinner. This was quite a week. I appreciated the Kennedy quote....it was this time of November.....and we were all reminded to do good words and embrace today as we are not promised tomorrow.
Beautiful details... thank you for sharing.
I wondered if anyone would remember the date of JFK's death, Anita. It seemed right to remember. Thank you!
You're welcome, Robin!
