It must be the season,
memories of my Grandmother
have returned
bring tears to my eyes
and making me crave pumpkin pies.

Thanksgiving Memories
Istijlál (Majesty), 3 Qawl (Speech), 173 BE - Thursday, November 24, 2016 AD about 9:19 AM Pacific Standard Time
I'm
grateful for the memories that come on Thanksgiving. One of those
memories was Thanksgiving 2012, which was Mama's last Thanksgiving on
this material plain. We didn't have a big Thanksgiving because I had to
cook for just the two of us. I fixed Stove Top with turkey gravy from a and a Marie Calender's
pumpkin pie with Cool Whip. Mom always liked to put Cool Whip on her
pumpkin pie so that's what we ate. I also think we had some sort of
meat, probably fowl of some type. Maybe sliced turkey or a turkey
burger. Mom wasn't up to eating much.
We
ate our Thanksgiving lunch while we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade, one of Mom's favorite activities on Thanksgiving. Mom ate some
of the dressing with gravy and then she ate her pumpkin pie with a cup of coffee. Mama always drink black coffee when she at pie, in fact Mom normally drink her coffee black. One week after Thanksgiving, on November 29, she died.

Thanksgiving Day Thankful Thursday Gratitude List
Istijlál (Majesty), 6 Qawl (Speech), 170 BE - Thursday, November 28, 2013 about 10:44 AM Pacific Standard Time
On this cloudy and chilly Thanksgiving Day I am grateful...
1. ...for Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen's Health Advice column, which appears in Thursday's Review-Journal, because today the main topic was Pain relief not limited to medication. Drs. Oz and Roizen give five self-care techniques to reduce the discomfort of chronic pain. I already practice one of the techniques on a daily basis, but today I will begin practicing more of them.
2. ...that I chose to spend this Thanksgiving by myself because now I can focus on prayer and meditation without interrupting anyone else's Thanksgiving Day. This gives me a chance to look at the changes of the past year and determine what I want to do for the next twelve months to make my life more productive.
3. ...for the turkey burgers I received when I went to one of the food pantries last week. For lunch I had two turkey and cranberry sandwiches. This is the first time I have ate a turkeys sandwich with cranberry sauce and they are delicious.
4. ...that I have a free senior cellphone with 250 free minutes each month.
5. ...for the beauty of a cloudy Thanksgiving morning with yellow and orange oak leaves falling to the ground.
6. ...that eggnog was in the grocery store when I went shopping yesterday. I had a cup of eggnog for breakfast for the first time in several years.
7. ...for the pumpkin pie I received when I went to one of the food pantries last Saturday.
8. ...that I have dentures so that I can enjoy a turkey and cranberry sandwich.
9. ...for being able to afford a cable modem so t hat I can stay connected with my family on Thanksgiving and every day of the year.
10. ...that I was able to enjoy a piece of pumpkin pie while watching the news this morning. This is a tradition that Mom and I started several years ago and I thought I might cry this morning but I did not. Instead, I remember how much Mom liked pumpkin pie.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States of America
‘Idál (Justice), 5 Qawl (Speech), 170 BE - Wednesday, November 27, 2013 about 8:46 AM Pacific Standard Time
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the United States of America. Today the writing.com newsletter were published and arrived in my e-mail box and the above quote by Meister Echart, is in the spiritual newsletter. A Season of Thanksgiving is the title of this week's edition and it got me to thinking about Thanksgiving and gratitude.
This year, I am planning a traditional-nontraditional Thanksgiving dinner. I am having turkey, but instead of a whole turkey or a turkey breast I am fixing ground turkey. I have some potatoes, so I will fix those with the turkey. I have pumpkin pie, I have some vegetables that I can fix as a salad, and I have a couple of melons.
I will purchase a couple of cans of whipped cream (I cannot remember what it is called) this afternoon when I go to the store to pick up a prescription and a couple of other items. I have some chicken bullion to make grave with, but I do not think I have any flour. I may purchase a small bag of flour this afternoon or I may just get some sour cream and margarine for baked potatoes. Since I do not have much money on me or in my bank account this late in the month, I have to be careful and purchase only what I need.
Despite the fact that I am not planning a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, I am grateful for what I have. I am also grateful to those who gave me these items because without the generosity of strangers and food pantries, I would not have much of a Thanksgiving. Tomorrow, I will make a Thankful Thursday Thanksgiving entry after meditating on the ten things I am thankful to have or to have experienced this year.
"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was 'Thank you', that would suffice."
Meister Eckhart

November Tranquility
Istijlál (Majesty), 16 Qudrat (Power), 166 BE – Thursday, November 19, 2009 about 9:17 AM Pacific Time
Thanksgiving's next week
childhood memories return
pumpkin pie whipped cream.
Memories of my grandmother's homemade pumpkin pie and whipped cream make November a time of memories. I wonder if anyone makes homemade whipped cream any more.

Pumpkin Pie
16 Qudrat 164 B.E. - Sunday, November 18, 2007 about 10:30 PM PST
Prayers on Thanksgiving Day,
Unity of family and friends,
Many religions gathered to sing
Praises to the Creator,
Knowledge of God and gratitude shared
Individual blessings expressed and
No one goes unsatisfied.
Prayers on Thanksgiving Day,
In the tabernacle of unity
Each person receives a piece of the pie.
