Happy Thanksgiving.
The turkey is stuffed and the potatoes are peeled.
Today I get to enjoy a feast with the people I love.
Some will give food to those in need, others will give their time. Some will just go about their day.
We will catch-up, laugh, share stories of Thanksgivings gone by, play football in the yard, create new memories, and probably have an argument or two. We will eat until we could pop and then bring out the pie. We will remember those who have passed and contemplate on what is to come.
Today I sit across from my Tea Party uncle, a few seats down is my conservative aunt. I will sit next to my liberal cousin and my “just tell me how to vote” sister. I will agree with some and strongly disagree with others, but I am thrilled to have them all at my table. They are the ones I love and politics will never change that.
The day will end and everyone will head their separate ways. I will see some everyday, some again at Christmas, and others I probably won’t see until next Thanksgiving, but today we are all together. Today I cherish.
I hope you enjoy your day as much I enjoy mine.

I love the Fox Business guy saying this
So has every other Pope and Bishop reminding their flocks to “vote pro-life” aka for the GOP. I am glad Francis is refocusing the Church’s efforts on fighting poverty, inequality, social injustice, and promoting all human life via human rights, not just the rights of the unborn. It could be a new day for the Church, and it’s a truly fascinating document to read. Already the far right is calling him an anti-pope.

Cantor Schectman blessed this occasion for me and my neighbors.
Our turkey is in the oven, and my sister is peeling the potatoes while I wash dishes.
Today I get to enjoy a feast with my family and a family friend.
Our Framingham Democratic Town Committee has been helping with the Curtis Dinner.
I bought some food today produced by local and organic sourcing.
I caught up and shared laughs with two of my sisters.
We are watching an out-of-state football game on television.
We are also talking gym talk.
Let God, Love and law define our day.
