Happy Turkey day to you and yours. There is a lot to be Thankful for this year. Family, friends, and good health. In the last few months cancer has suddenly struck hard at three people in my circle. All three face it with more grace and strength than I could hope to muster. They are a resilient crew and I daily think about their fight. So, this season I’m thankful for one knowing them and two for their inspiring me to live better. Life is short.

As we gather for T2(a tradition of a second gathering of friends) tomorrow around my table I will raise my glass in thanks for having them in my life. And I plan to take a little extra time for hugs this season…as they can be in short supply in this rushed life we lead.
