<p>I'm heading out for a run. Not sure how far, depends on how things hold up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a great day people. Going to be pretty quiet here, as we aren't celebrating till Saturday with Dh's family. We already cooked the turkey, because the [gas] oven is right next to the dining room door and the [oil based] poly is highly flammable. We'll hopefully be getting 2 more coats of poly on the floor in there today, and I'll be working in my studio.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QODY: I was actually thinking about this a lot the last couple months. Besides the obvious, Dh, family, friends, being as healthy as I can, I am grateful for my studio. Both for the equipment (my dad and brother are responsible for building 3/4 of it, so when I work down there I can't help but look around and smile and think of them), and having the skills to make stuff that people are willing to buy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now that I've been laid off again, working down there gives me something positive to focus on, and purpose every day. And it's fun. <img alt="smile.gif" id="user_yui_3_4_1_7_1322132725272_163" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"></p>

<p>Happy, happy everyone!!  Hope all the turkey trotters  <strong>(Ail, Tim and who else</strong>??)  and and globe trotters get to your finish lines safely and well. </p>

<p><strong>Sherpa C's</strong> parents are coming for a small meal tonight...they are bringing it...yay!!! :)  I am so happy for that.  Chinese food...I love that even more.  Fun and easy. His family is also Norwegian, so they are bringing <em>aquavit</em> as well...hahaha!  Love it.</p>

<p>My dad's side of the family is Native American but they either practice or  completely not at all--there are always options for thankful festivities in the year (solstice, harvests, pow wows) due in large measure because of my aunt.  Traditional Thanksgiving has its controversies with Native peoples, but I talked to her this morning and she said, "I look at it this way. Thanksgiving isn't ven about what we have, <em>but what we can share with others.</em>"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I loved that and will go into today with that spirit.</p>

<p><strong><em>May you all have a peaceful and <span style="color:#ff0000;">healthy</span> Thanksgiving...</em></strong></p>
