"one of my hardcore atheist friends sometimes object “…thanks to whom?” to which I simply reply, “to the universe, to this happy accident of life, to our lucky stars that we are here and that we met...”.

One is always thankful for something each and everyday be it big or small. Love the feast and celebration with family and friends on Thanksgiving and a gentle reminder to ourselves of our many blessings! Beautiful poems, love the ode to unsung hero's, that makes one and all special. Heart warming poem on your friends loss. Time does not stop and moves on and we have no choice and so we do too... Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

You make it difficult, Reena, to read "endless march" through the moist eyes your words evoke. Beautiful.
