Sunday is my birthday,
and we'll be heading out to my family's house
to celebrate an early Thanksgiving together
(we are spending Thanksgiving Day
with my husband's family).
I am so looking forward to it all.
I know that this is not the case for everyone,
but I love this season of the year so much
because it holds my memories
of other golden holiday times
like a cup holds water.
I sip from it and taste last year,
and the year before that,
and each taste adds richness
to this year's cup.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Birthday, dear Maggie! and Happy Thanksgiving next week. Your words are so beautiful and fit this special time of the year.
