Unlikely Hero

Filed in books, family, food, friends

Despite the traffic, despite the day, despite the week, I smiled and laughed almost the whole way home yesterday in the car listening to Tom Waits on NPR. I usually listen to books on CD, but am waiting for one to come in on hold, and I would have missed it. I also heard Kiran Desai on Monday and now must go and read The Inheritance of Loss. She sounds lovely.

Looking at a four day weekend, potential unfurling, but not many plans. Tim and I are going to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner of side dishes for ourselves. Including persimmon pudding, one of our favorites.

This year I am thankful for many things, but always topping the list is family and friends. Some are close, some are far, but without all of you I couldn’t do any of it. Emails, phone calls, hugs, random text messages…they all keep me going and make every day sparkle a little bit. Thank you.
