Happy Tofurky Day!!

Whether you're feasting on tofurky and chard, or having a more meat-inclusive Thanksgiving, take a moment or two to remember the things you're giving thanks for. You don't have to believe in God, you don't have to toast with alcohol, you don't have to watch football and have apple pie (although all the above is and will be true in my case). You don't have to do any of that.

You don't even have to give thanks. But you should.

Last year I had too many bad things occur in the course of a single year. During Thanksgiving at my mother's house I sarcastically said "At least 2005's almost over...I'm thankful for THAT." This year I may have to bring note cards to remember it all. It's been an incredible year for so many reasons, not the least of which is the incredible support I've had not only from the friends I know, but from the people who have read this blog over the past year and have encouraged me to continue writing, continue sharing, and continue doing whatever it is I need to do to express myself.

Thanks. I'll remember all of you as I hold up my glass today, and strive to do the same for each and every one of you to the best of my abilities.

Happy Thanksgiving.
