This movie is a Thanksgiving Day classic. Martin and Candy are comedy gold. Sometimes getting home isn’t always easy or direct or free from complications. It also means making new friends along the way.
Thanksgiving 2024. A traditional spread of turkey and the trimmings. Now it’s time for a nap.
In America, it’s Thanksgiving Day. It’s a time to be with family and friends. It’s also a day for food and football. It is a day of celebration. With all that said, I am thankful for what I have. On this feast day, it’s good to remember that this day isn’t so good for some of us. For some, it’s a day when grief is still very fresh in their hearts and minds. No matter where or how you observe may this be a day of peace and love. Give thanks.
I felt I needed to outwardly express my support for various social justice causes. The friendship bracelet is one way many have found to do just that. I got mine in the mail today from an African-American woman maker who owns her own business. Thank you, Kwonnie Robinson, for your good work. Check out her website, KEM Jewelry to order your own.
I chose the word Hope on my blue friendship bracelet because hope can be a dangerous word for those who oppress and advance hate. Everyone has to have hope because it’s good and keeps us going. The brown beaded one is a reminder to tend the soil of the fields of the world we live in.
I have depression and this is a season where I feel the blues. Much of it has to do with the losses of a parent and my maternal grandparents. Changes in life like getting older can be a struggle. Having a soft heart is a good thing but sometimes it can get the best of you. This is not a fun time of year for me. I thank those such as my missus who try to help me get through it all. Now is the time to do the best you can or something like that.
