Thanksgiving, 2021. A largely-vaccinated public is slowly returning to life as it once was. Families all over the U.S. will be celebrating Thanksgiving as they used to -- gathered round the dining table passing the gravy and cranberry sauce enjoying the company of friends and family.
But I will not.
I'm not there yet. I'm still too anxious about CoVid to do that despite my booster. And so, I'm taking to the road and heading north to Boston, New Hampshire, Vermont and Western Massachusetts in pursuit of the one thing I most ache for: the company of dear friends.
To keep things absolutely safe I'll be meeting them for 30 min. walks outside. No indoor meals with anyone but myself. When I eat indoors it'll be takeout in my hotel room. But it's powerful to me, the idea that in a few short days I'll be reconnecting physically with some people who have meant the world to me.
In the end we are not what we eat. But we are who we love. Or that's how I see it. I hope you'll drop by. I'll be posting entries on my experience -- written and possibly a bit of vlogging as well. Please join me. And join the discussion by posting a comment.
I'll begin Thursday, November 25th and posting through Monday November 29th. See you there. Here's a little inspiration (for me and you) courtesy of Joni Mitchell:
