Turkey day approaches

I'm amazed at how fast this year has gone by. I was just asking Mark if it 'felt' like November to him. I still can't believe Thanksgiving is this Thursday and Christmas (and my birthday - the horrors!) is a month away! I haven't bought more than a couple of items and gifts and while I'm really good about shopping I don't feel that with it this year. Ever since my dad died I'm kind of melancholy about the whole thing. I'm sure this is a 'normal' feeling but I have to admit my heart isn't in it like it used to be. Gosh, I hope I'm not getting callous about the holidays. I've always loved this time of year in the past.....

The date we lose someone really important or an institution like marriage. Actually.... the true date of my divorce of my first marriage (which I know was in October) escapes me because it was a long time ago. Not that it wasn't traumatic or unimportant because it was. It's just I've moved on (as has my ex) so that date doesn't hold a grip over me. The death of a loved one (related or not) is always t
