I am glad that I'm no longer in grade school, and thus I don't have to make a list of the good things in my life, or thank some amorphous entity for them, instead of appreciating the people who are actually in my life, making it better and more joyful.
And I'm glad that I can remember these people, and the things I've done well for myself and the world, all year round, not just on the fourth Thursday of the eleventh month of the Gregorian year.
Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to sharing good food and conversation with three of these people in a little while. I doubt I could ever get all the people I love, and the many more I like and might come to love if the time and circumstances were right, around one table--geography alone would be a barrier, and some of them don't get along well with each other--but that's okay, because I get to share time, and food, with all of them, by ones and twos and threes and 12s.
