The Big Day

Tomorrow is Turkey Day, Internet!

While feasting on roasted turkey and traditional dressing and garlic-and-goat-cheese mashed potatoes, I know I will be looking around the table at my in-laws and my husband, or speaking on the phone with my parents or brother, thinking of the many ways I’ve been blessed.

I hope your Thanksgiving is full of laughter, family, deliciousness, and love.

In honor of the day, I leave you with a poem by Charles Reznikoff:

Te Deum

By Charles Reznikoff

Not because of victories
I sing,
having none,
but for the common sunshine,
the breeze,
the largess of the spring.

Not for victory
but for the day's work done
as well as I was able;
not for a seat upon the dais
but at the common table.

  3. You will be a wonderful hostess and your food will taste delicious! (but some added “good luck!” never hurt anyone, right?)
    I can’t wait for the recap! In the meantime, have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!
