"Another Thanksgiving in a quiet house, as I wait to join a friend who has opened her home to me. Three years of &amp;quot;Just me&amp;quot; Thanksgivings, and three different families I&amp;#039;ve shared my meal with - it&amp;#039;s actually been pretty nice. I meet great people and I don&amp;#039;t have to do much in the way of cleaning up! Plus, my friends always load me up with leftovers! I&amp;#039;ll come home tonight, straighten up a bit and then sometime this weekend, I&amp;#039;ll get the tree up - that is, if the kitten lets me! It&amp;#039;s his first Christmas and he&amp;#039;s not exactly kitten-sized anymore, even if he&amp;#039;s as playful as ever. I&amp;#039;m sure I&amp;#039;ll be finding ornaments everywhere and picking the tree up at least twice a week. Anna called a little while ago to wish me Happy Thanksgiving, and as I hung up, I thought once again of what I have instead of all that I&amp;#039;m missing. Life doesn&amp;#039;t always work out like you thought it would, but in the end, it&amp;#039;s what you make of it. Today, I have a roof over my head, food on my table, a job that pays the bills, friends and family and a lot of love. Like the old song says - I&amp;#039;ve got plenty to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving, from my home to yours. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
