10 Things I'm Thankful For

Some random things I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving, in no particular order (except for the first) …..

(1) My son (the light of my life, and he’s coming back east to visit for the holiday!)

(2) The Enlightenment (it was, and still is, a great idea!)

(3) O.V. Wright & the Hi Rhythm Section of Memphis (who recorded the deepest soul music ever!)

(4) The Baltimore Orioles (although they’ve been bad so long, I still remember the good years!)

(5) Trees (any of them and all of them – including the Ents)

(6) The Marx Brothers (Groucho, Chico, and Harpo – but not Zeppo or Karl)

(7) Roast turkey (why do we have to wait until Thanksgiving to eat real turkey – so delicious! – rather than that processed, tasteless stuff served on sandwiches the other 364 days of the year!)

(8) My collection of the Complete Works of Mark Twain (to me, reading him is like sharing quality time with an old friend!)

(9) The neighborhood where I live, Takoma Park, Maryland (I love the look and feel of the place, the way everyone’s house and front yard is different!)

(10) All my wonderful clients who accord me the pleasure and privilege of helping to make their wedding celebrations fun and memorable!
