Have you felt things slowing down this week? Yes, there’s news being made and lots we probably should be doing, but the email stream is slowing and the phone is ringing a bit less. The US celebrates Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November; the midweek holiday often means a long weekend, with Wednesday thrown in as a travel day. That makes Tuesday a hectic day of shopping and packing which makes Monday … My point? Thanksgiving Thursday lets us slow down. It’s all about food, family, friends and being grateful for the bounty in our lives. What you give thanks for is completely up to you; my list is long. And it includes you — thank you for reading, for interacting and for questioning.
If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving, make it a happy one. Even if you’re not, know you’re appreciated. Maybe have a slice of pie in solidarity?
See you on Monday!
Monica
