Those who celebrate, happy whatever!

7. If ever there was a "roll your own" holiday this is it...

"All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin,

Come to God's own temple come-Raise a song of harvest home...."

That's how the Christians did it and I sang that song in 3rd grade LONG before it could mean much to me. But now as an old man I have given up their god but come to love these emotions....

It's harvest home and time to give thanks whatever joy life gives you and to celebrate even the little bits and pieces we managed to put away against the cold and the dark. Another cycle of the sun has come and gone and for many of us another chair or more may be empty at the table. Love those who have departed, cherish those that remain, and mostly be gentle on yourself because every life has it's hardships. May all find peace and forgiveness and may your turkey be moist. Happy thanksgiving to DUer's and to all a good night...
