I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. For those who are cooking for the masses, God bless you. Be sure you take a few minutes to look around at your family and friends, and all you are thankful for this year. I know there is a lot in my life that I have been blessed with although I often look at things as half-empty.
I am lucky that I am only a Thanksgiving "Assistant" for short...a Thanksgiving "Ass". This means that I am the one that makes multiple runs to the grocery store, does the dishes and grabs the serving plates out of the hard-to-reach cabinets, high and low. However, I do not mind being the Ass because for all the years of my life, it allowed me to really look around and realize the work that goes into a holiday where there are 20+ people coming for dinner. There is days of work even though we have the modern convenience of Cuisinart blenders and food processors and high-tech ovens. I can't even begin to imagine the work that would need to go into a holiday back in the early 1900s.
After reflecting on all of this hard work, I can only say - God Bless Women. Over the years you have made every holiday what it is, and have built traditions. For this and many other things, I am truly grateful.
Happy Thanksgiving.
