When Thanksgiving rolls around, I usually trot out a post listing some things that I’m thankful for. The list involves the standard things like stable jobs, a good home, and healthy family members. I am indeed thankful for all those things this year as well.
But this year I think I’m most thankful for a certain friendship that dates back to high school. Ours has been a rocky road, fraught with both good times and bad. We’ve gone years speaking to each other 25 times a day, and years of complete silence. Recently we sat down to air our grievances and really work things out, and I think we’ve made some positive strides. The relationship is not fixed yet, but it’s a lot better than it was two days ago.
Thank you for listening, JCM.
