The other day, a friend of ours said that if a year or so ago, you had pitched 2020 as a movie or television concept it would have been dismissed as too unrealistic. As our friend remarked: “There is just no way you would have belived that so many hard and challenging things would all occur at the same time.”
We couldn’t agree more.
Yet in spite of everything, or maybe because of everything, we remain more grateful than ever. Among other things we are grateful for:
Our funny and generous friends.
Our incredible family.
Zingerman’s Deli.
Accessible health care.
Pelaton.
Dogs with floppy ears.
Skilled doctors.
Nieces and nephews.
The President-elect.
Zoom poker games.
Long walks (Dan)
Short walks (Post-surgery Cassie)
New puppies.
The Black Lives Matter Movement
Cooking.
Silly jokes (“Why don’t they play poker in the jungle? There are too many cheetahs.”)
Great colleagues and clients.
Jack’s Caregiver Coalition.
Good books.
Masks.
Learning.
Deep dish pizza (well any pizza but especially deep dish).
Ice packs and heating pads.
Haikus.
Cassie’s parents.
An enduring love.
While this Thanksgiving may not look like any other we have experienced, our hearts are still full and our gratitude plentiful. Happy Thanksgiving.
