06:49 pm - To all a Safe night?
In my memories, Thanksgiving was always the best holiday. Perhaps because it wasn't a manic exploitative, angst laden marathon? Perhaps because you took the opportunity to spend the time with people who mattered to you and who returned the favor. The day had a feeling to it that was relaxing as opposed to maddening. You may have your own recollections and preferences, but I do hold a special place in my heart and soul for the kindness, and gentle times past on Thanksgiving. I truly hope your day, this year is filled with much that pleases you, and nothing that offends you. You are special and I hope you treat yourself well.
Good night all,

All the faces...and all the places.
Am I worthy enough to have survived my own follies, and to have been witness for so many to did not survive?

I almost forgot....

What an incredible coda to a journey through my backdoors!
