Remembering Summer...Thanksgiving is almost here

Thanksgiving is almost here in Canada.

Every year I hear from Americans about how early it is in Canada

and from Canadians how late Americans do it.

Needless to say,

I feel the holiday in the air and am happy for it.

Meanwhile I am remembering the summer;

I think I will always remember my last two summers as transitional summers.

Last year I was in bed with a twice fractured infected foot.

This year I took was unemployed, took walks

and tried to figure out what to do next.

Sometimes it has been lonely

sometimes full.

Such is life.

I do not know yet what I am transitioning towards

but I pray that it will be for my salvation.

I have new dreams;

I have hopes again for another apartment;

I still have my Cat.

God is with me.

With this I must be content.
