My Favorite Holiday, Thanksgiving

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The holiday is an underdog if you think about it. It has to fight for recognition because Christmas seems to engulf everything once we get past Halloween. Thanksgiving is when we give thanks and spend time with family both biological and chosen. I like the parade, the food such as turkey and dressing. We can’t forget the pies too. and more. It’s cool that Thanksgiving is celebrated in Canada and The United States.

So What Do I Wanna Talk About

Daily writing prompt
What topics do you like to discuss?

I enjoy talking about politics and religion (yes I know both are sacred cows) but only with like-minded friends, never family. I enjoy discussing TV, professional wrestling, movies, music, sports, and other things that come up in conversation around the dinner table or over coffee. Lately, I have been with company, who talk about what ails us because we are at that stage in life where aches and pains, and how to deal with them. It is not my preferred topics but they are necessary because I can learn from them. Life is something to be talked about and that’s cool.

Earth Day 2024, Do Your Part

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally involving over 1 billion people in more than 193 countries.

Taking care of the planet that we all share is important. Everyone should do their part to make the world environment a better place. It’s easy, just by reducing, reusing, recycling, restoring, and replenishing you can make a difference. Small moves can mean big results.
