Day 7 - 286 -- Feeling Thankful

 This was a  sunny, cool fall day. I still feel very fatigued so I spent the day indoors. I did manage a small bit of laundry, but the rest of the day was spent in repose. 

Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. I did go out in the evening to have dessert with friends -- homemade apple and pumpkin pies. Even the pumpkin came from the actual squash rather than a can. Luckily I didn't have to make up my mind and opted for a small slice of each -- totally delish! 

There are many things to be thankful for even with the world in the weird space it now occupies. A furry quadruped provides comfort and hugs -- much needed some days. Amazing friends help me through the rougher patched and celebrate the good stuff. Technology allows me to see and hear those close to me when we are far apart now. There are so many other things -- warm home, supportive community, great libraries, jigsaw puzzles, super books, great food, beauty of nature, access to good health care and living in a peaceful area. I do feel lucky.

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating this month. A song from my childhood came to mind while thinking of the many things I have to be thankful for. Stay safe. Enjoy!
