Who knew how much two words can change your life? Five years ago I was taking a break from a 22 pound turkey and a ridiculous vat of stuffing and chatting with a few friends on the game site where I played. I was in a festive mood so I decided to send Thanksgiving greetings to anyone who showed up on the site.
"Happy Thanksgiving!"
Two words. I must have sent out dozens of them. I got a lot of "Thanks" and "You too ;)" a couple of "Not American, don't celebrate it." Nothing I felt the need for further reply. But then...
"Happy Thanksgiving to you also. :) Shame I won't be celebrating it like
you guys do though..."
Hmmmm...Ok. I'll chat.
We talked about an English equivalent holiday. (None) We talked about turkey. (Yum) We talked about our lives. (Busy) We talked about online dating. (Stupid)
Unless of course you end up married...
Five years later. In about half an hour I'm going to turn to my husband and say "Happy Thanksgiving!" I'm gonna kiss him and I'm gonna kiss our beautiful daughter. I have a lot to be thankful for.
