The adventures of a middle aged law student

Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving, and no studying at all.  I feel a bit unmoored without having any studying to do-actually I have a lot to do but chose to take the holiday off. I made turkey dinner for family and friends and now feeling the pull of my books.  First, things I am thankful for.

Laptop computers and blankets.  Electric lights and central heat.  food to eat, sunshine on my skin, freedom to choose.  My brothers and my sons.   For love that I never knew existed, for the pain that comes with loss and for being fully a part of life.  For law school and my new friends.

Grace and mercy in full measure have been mine this year.  For this I am grateful and full of thanks.
