Found a special cranberry recipe on WordPress years ago. Still a hit with the family.
This year, I’m grateful for what’s left.
What I mean is that I’m glad I’m healthy for my age and that I can often remember what I’m supposed to be doing next — I can even remember names if I just wait.
Though I’m missing people who have died, I’m really grateful for all the friends and family who are alive and doing fine. I’m grateful that people still write books that interest me and that most of those unwanted “improvements” in tech (WordPress, Instagram, the iPhone, Zoom) I can usually figure out without asking for help.
I’m grateful for kindness in unexpected places. And I’m grateful for the many, many leaders and organizations in the US that still care about the people.
I’m also grateful for the maple-clementine-ginger-lemon-apple-cranberry recipe I once found online and can probably continue to make until my arthritic thumbs tell me to stop peeling apples. Check out the cranberry recipe here.

A worthy list. Happy Thanksgiving Caroline.
Wishing a great Thanksgiving to your family, too, Carol. So happy to know you!
I agree, Carol. This is a lovely, worthy list ā all of which I echo! And when I get home from traveling to see family for Thanksgiving, I am going to check out this wonderful recipe for cranberry sauce… A happy and healthy and thankful holiday to one and all!
Grateful to know you, Will! First through your many great performances and then learning more about you through WordPress!
Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you!
My pleasure
A good post for me to read as I am not feeling particularly thankful after the last election. I do, of course, have things to be thankful for, but the horror of four years of Trump seems to dominate everything else.
Laurie, did you notice that our long-lost KerryCan clicked”like” on this post? I am so grateful for friends I’ve met here! Don’t stay away forever.
Love your gratitude list, Caroline, and, as always, your writing!
You make me feel ready to go public with my two early New Year resolutions: Regenerate my sense of humor and Reclaim my optimism.
Thank you,
Meredith
Well, that is an inspiration to me! Thank you for reminders about values it’s too easy to forget!
There’s always something to be grateful for! š
I bet the maple-clementine-ginger-lemon-apple-cranberry dish is a central favorite of the meal; tastes good with everything.
I can say it doesn’t last long.
