I’m sitting here in the midst of no silence, no solitude, no simplicity. How could it be otherwise on a Thanksgiving morning—Macy’s Day Parade, football, cooking pies, dressing the turkey, comings and goings? I’m fine with it, thank goodness. No one wants to know about my longings, nor do I want to bring them up. I understand all the benefits of family and holidays, and my life has had a marvelous fill of them.
If you participate in Thanksgiving, it is impossible to keep it simple. So much food! You can, however, keep the gratitude going. A friend to bring some canned food to be donated to a food pantry to the Thanksgiving party she is going to. That’s all the hostess wants.
