Then I thought, hey, I don't have to hate November, but I still sorta did, and then, it lost its sting. Now February, that is a month that deserves to be even shorter.GingerBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976594257345428901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078483744873792132.post-23435316566924426532009-11-03T13:42:38.894-05:002009-11-03T13:42:38.894-05:00As hard as it is to think about Thanksgiving, don&...As hard as it is to think about Thanksgiving, don't let the angst spoil the real heart of the day: remembering to be thankful. (I know, I'm preaching to the choir -- the one who often blogs Grace in Small Things and talks about being thankful. Just thought I'd bring it up front for you again!) It's a hard holiday for me, being so far away from the family that are linked in my mind with the feast. But I know you all still love us, and our hearts are linked across the distance. And I'm Thankful for that.
