how, and for what, to be thankful
i'm not a big fan of the pilgrims, but i am a big fan of a day (that would be every day) dedicated to being thankful for what we have. 'cause we have a lot. here's a partial list. feel free to add on.
"May your stuffing be tasty May your turkey plump, May your potatoes and gravy Have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious And your pies take the prize, And may your Thanksgiving dinner Stay off your thighs!" ~Author Unknown
One reason I'm fascinated with old movies or old books or old music or what-have-you isn't because I have any desire to live in any other time than what I'm living in now. It's just that if you find something in the past that can still be appreciated, still be enjoyed, then that you've found something that's transcended time, and finding that means that there's hope for whatever time we find ourseves stuck in, and we don't have to be passive, victims of mere fashion or changes in taste. So I'm thankful for that.
kirk-nope, not boorish at all. we're just fine-tuning our communications. i didn't indicate that i was laughing when i posted that, either! no harm, no foul. as for following my own drummer,yes. i still don't know which band we're in!

ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, your quirky little blog.
Happy belated Thanksgiving.
Quirky little blog. I like that.
ReplyDeletekirk-there is never any reason to feel/be passive. we all transcend time, space, and anything else we care to mention. either we act or we languish.
ReplyDeletekirk and kass-why do i feel like i've been patted on the head, and sent to the kid's table?

ReplyDeleteApropos to a conversation we were having at my blog, this may be an example of my boorishness.
I didn't mean to sound condescending. I meant quirky in the best possible sense, that you're imaginative, that you seem to follow your own drummer.
