Today’s prompt is: What will you be doing Thanksgiving day?
My first thought was when exactly is it?
Since it is not a holiday we celebrate in the land down under I was feeling somewhat disadvantaged by the is prompt.
So, I checked my calendar to see if there was something on the 22nd November.
It’s a clear day, no doctor visits, no dinner engagements, yet at any rate.
So, I thought what have I got to be thankful for?
Well for one being alive, able to get about by myself, still able to work as I’ve discovered in the past few weeks and I’m thankful for the drugs I take to enable me to be the person I am, upright and alive.
Things could always be worse, couldn’t they?
I found this to be an exceptionally good response, the kind I was hoping for. 🙂
The Canadian Thanksgiving is on a different day than USA, and some parts of the world don’t celebrate it. In the US, we have Halloween in October (it was yesterday), Thanksgiving in November and Christmas in December. For most of us, it means trying to dodge holiday traffic –people who aren’t paying attention/drunk/texting, etc. I’m thankful to be alive when January comes around again.
Thanks for the obvious risks you take. It’s a dangerous time holiday time.
People just seem to turn into wreckless zombies.
True. Be thankful everyday.
I am. Thanks for your thoughts
