Exercise is a life saver for me, as well as reading and the Bake Off shows from various countries.

May you continue along your chosen path and feel joy along with blessings. We have entered a new era globally and the way the economies will be affected are not yet clear as many ways of making a living are either gone or attempting to find a new direction. Stay well.

I was reminded yesterday when my nephew tested positive, that even family members can pass the virus to us. Perhaps especially family members because we are most likely to let our guard down with them. Even so, as you say, there is much to be thankful for this year and every year.Galen Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189831838630645863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-17327683896088828052020-11-23T13:54:06.235-08:002020-11-23T13:54:06.235-08:00Very well said.Very well said.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-29928287031856938862020-11-23T10:45:57.032-08:002020-11-23T10:45:57.032-08:00I was 12 years old when JFK was shot.

I had grown up with the Cold War and practicing hiding under our desks in bomb drills. The Cuban Missile Crisis was still a bit vague to me, but we knew it was dangerous. In the next few years we lost Bobby, MLK...had protests over Vietnam, Civil Rights, Bra Burning...Kent State, 68 convention...it went on and on...but we survived. We are survivors. :) Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-55346041282371856522020-11-23T00:38:53.890-08:002020-11-23T00:38:53.890-08:00Thank you for sharing your positive thoughts.

We have had our ups and downs here in Australia but most of the country now are living a normal life with just a few that are in quarantine as we have many Australians that are being repatriated and have to spend 2 weeks in quarantine when they arrive here. We are still testing many people and our Health Dept are very vigilant in keeping everyone safe. I hope you stay well and continue to enjoy your walks with friends.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17450587465665147283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-46807756603627915372020-11-22T22:09:54.313-08:002020-11-22T22:09:54.313-08:00Thanks for your positive post.

I will be with my sister this Thanksgiving and we will be grateful we have each other. I plan to do more for others in the coming year, especially those in need. I donate to our food banks in our town and will do more before Christmas. I am grateful for you and my other blogger friends who have helped me through this year. So glad SG is improving.

I was teaching in Inuvik NWT and when I came down from my classroom for lunch I was told of JFK's death. We had no TV and very little radio. We will get around the ugly situation right now but it's going to take a while and some very strong leadership from somewhere.

First thing thing morning, which for us was 9:30 :-), we went to Home Depot to pick up an order curbside, and then went into the store to look for another gift item. We struck out, but the store was not busy at all and we felt safe. We came home and found the item on line and ordered it. I'm back on the computer now to make an adjustment to the order, as part of it was out of stock. I switched to Amazon, who has everything. <br />The rest of the morning I worked outside, trimming lawn edges and cleaning out more planting beds. Tom worked on the Christmas lights, which he is finishing now, this afternoon. When I get up from my desk chair I will finally get to my PT exercises, which I usually do first thing in the morning. <br />I'll have some time to read this afternoon before I prepare dinner, grilled lamb chops, roasted vegetable and green salad. <br />And I am telling you all of this because this is how we cope with Covid. We stay busy, and when we go out we do so carefully. We eat well. <br />I am grateful for many things, and right now especially, just the ability to sit in my home office and visit with you across the miles.<br />The sky is gray but the rain is holding off. There are still a few golden leaves clinging to the dogwood tree outside my window. The outside is cleaned up and tonight we will turn on holiday lights. All is good.<br />Have a peaceful Thanksgiving. <br />Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-66676428995381505692020-11-22T12:10:11.249-08:002020-11-22T12:10:11.249-08:00While I am seeing more people here wearing masks, ...While I am seeing more people here wearing masks, it appears they think the mask makes them invincible as they seem to ignore the six feet rule, which is frustrating. Oh well, I can only do what I can to keep myself safe.<br /><br />I will be counting you as one of my many blessings. I hope you and SG have a wonderful Thanksgiving week!<br /><br /> Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-6824316646241947612020-11-22T11:39:24.285-08:002020-11-22T11:39:24.285-08:00Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week, DJan.

But that said, we will continue to follow the guidelines (not only of the government or the CDC but of good sense). It may be a quiet slightly sad Thanksgiving and Christmas without the kids and grandkids, but if it keeps everyone healthy than I'm all for it. Hopefully we will all live to make up for the 2020 losses (without any loss of life).

I, too, am trying to get out and take walks each day with my dear Chloe dog. I always feel better afterwards, although some days like today it's hard to go outside. (It's 26F right now.) I pray that your week is a wonderful one and that you stay healthy.

And how cool that you know the artist. To be honest I was a little surprised to read about Canada experiencing an upsurge in covid cases, but I’m sure they’re still doing far better than us. And yes they are smart for keeping their borders closed. My god, I can’t wait until Joe Biden is in the White House and allies become real allies again.<br /><br />Very glad to hear your partner is continuing to improve DJan and hope your Thanksgiving is a healthy & cheerful one. PS. I finally finished ‘Queen’s Gambit’ Friday night and was almost surprised at it’s very sweet conclusion—I loved it, made my eyes well up a couple times. Thanks for recommending it. <br />ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-65523755282070435212020-11-22T09:30:08.505-08:002020-11-22T09:30:08.505-08:00A very happy Thanksgiving to you and to Smart Guy....A very happy Thanksgiving to you and to Smart Guy.
