The most important decision each person makes in live is the choices they make of the people around them.
No matter the age – as children, teens, young adults, adults, and elders – the importance of the choices is the same.
No matter the place – work, school, neighbors, organizations, and more – the importance of the choices is the same.
No matter our choice of hobbies – dance, photography, travel, bicycling, knitting, blogging, or more – the importance of the choices is the same.
For Thanksgiving 2018, I am thankful for all the good people who have been around me all my years – my hometown, college, neighbors, work, church, conferences, dance, vacations, family, and many more – and that includes the good people in blogging.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Returning this weekend for Act 2 of Pronouns 2: The Musical featuring songs with Mine in the title. Curtain goes up at 1:00 AM (Eastern US).

Enjoy your holiday xo

Thank you. Just returned from a up-Thursday back-Friday trip going cross state about 3.5 hours each way. Whirlwind, but good. … and Happy Thanksgiving to my favorite Kiwi.

I agree with you on choices being what we all share–and then the consequences are addressed by all as well. I am hopeful for the future, even if not very optimistic. Happy Thanksgiving! I, too, am thankful for family and friends, including blogging friends.

I’m grateful this Thanksgiving that you introduced me and my wife to Sirius XM Satellite Radio. The music choices it gives us when we’re driving are incredible. Here for example is a piece by trumpeter Chet Baker that kept me calm recently during a long traffic tie-up on I-71: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6mfWun73vI

Beautiful song. Well done, Frank. We Wheelers had a delayed Thanksgiving yesterday, reason being that wife Mollie fell a week ago and suffered a “mile to moderate” compression fracture to a vertebra. She is now recovering and ambulatory. It’s times like this that the sentiments you express here are most meaningful. — Jim

Who we surround ourselves determines much in our life. Years ago, I had to make the painful choice of having to distance myself from negative people. My life has been positive ever since.
