Today was Thanksgiving. I cooked my first turkey dinner today, and I have to admit I was a bit nervous about it. I tried a butter compound and it worked wonderfully. I think everything turned out very well.

There were a few difficult internal moments, for me, personally. I'm not going to lie. The worst was setting the table and only seeing three plates on the table. It kind of caught me off guard how something that small and silly, can so quickly and concisely bring into focus, all that seems surreal in your life.

But the moment passed and I moved on to other necessary duties. Although, admittedly, throughout the day, I have thought much of W, wondering what he was doing and hoping he is having a nice holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I am thankful for my children, the rest of my family and friends, for my life and my experiences which have brought me to who I am and what I am.
