like a fire

OK, this was probably the best thanksgiving I have had. I got to spend the day with people I really wanted to spend it with. It was very casual and relaxed. Actually the whole first part of the day was spent with my girls. That was great and surprisingly very relaxing. I spent the rest of the day with friends, ate way too much great food, and then retired early. Then pater that night another friend came over and we played games til 11. It was great!

Probably the best thing about me being able to enjoy myself is not having to worry about what I needed to get ready for. I never realized how big a burden that is. Mostly the need to be creative in a clever way. I really put a lot of pressure on myself. I don’t know if I am capable of not doing that, but I think it would do me and those around me a lot of good.

I am very thankful for my friends and family. Really!
