Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving Amalfi Coast
Autumn in Ravello's hamlet of Torello

There’s no better day than Thanksgiving to stop and spend a moment with my word for the year … reflect. This has been a tremendous year, and I am grateful for so many things. I’d love to take just a moment to give my thanks to the new friends I’ve made this year and to my dear friends who have shared so much of their time and love keeping in touch from halfway around the world. And to my fiancé for making me smile each and every day – especially on my birthday when he proposed to me! To my family for the love and for squeezing in as much quality time together on my trips back to Nebraska. And many thanks to all of my blogging friends and you readers – you all add so much joy to my daily life. Wishing everyone reading a wonderful Thanksgiving time with your family and friends filled with love and many happy moments!

      Thank you, Pat! It was nice to be in the States for Thanksgiving after many years away. I even had turkey and cranberries twice this year! 🙂

But The Travelers by @brunocesarcatalano in Amalfi has been extended to November 5, 2023. I wasn’t ready for them to travel on yet!
This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳
