thankfully ...

wow, i thought blogging on thanksgiving was totally my jam, and that i've blogged on most thanksgivings since i started this whole thing 12 years ago ... but i looked back over my post list, and there were only like, four thanksgiving posts.

what the heck?

i have so much more than four posts worth of stuff to be thankful in my life, and that's been true every single year i can remember.

i'm going to say, my excuse must be that instead of blogging on those past thanksgivings, i must have been doing so many things worth being thankful about, i didn't have time to sit down at the computer and write.

(sure, maybe i was just bloating myself with too much turkey and cranberry sauce. realistically, i have to admit that's a possibility. but if i did, i must have forgotten about it in a post-gorging tryptophan coma.*)

anyway, the good news is, i'm extra-specially thankful this thanksgiving. last year, our lives were one ariel richer than they were before, and this year they're a whole harriet better than last year. there are good star trek and star wars shows on tv, and the numbers on my blog archive tell me 2020 has been my most productive year for blogging ever.

it's an absolutely awesome time to be alive, and i'm thankful for that every day.

also ... thank you for reading this! 

you're awesome and worth being thankful for too.

xoxo,
claire

*dang it. i just had to go and google tryptophan and make sure i was spelling it right, and scientific american tells me it's not the turkey that makes you sleepy, it's the dessert. i swear, though, i never have more than one piece of pie after thanksgiving dinner. i mean, one piece of each pie. but we usually don't have more than one pumpkin pie and one apple pie and maybe one cherry pie in our spread. so i'm sticking with turkey as the scapegoat.
