A Sassy Thanksgiving

Big love to Dave and Bridget for hosting the Sassy Thanksgiving this year. A gluten-free, butter-drenched, persimmon flavored, feast.

Please feel free to add to this post (if you're a blogger) or comment (even if you've never commented before). Personally I feel so grateful and full of love this Thanksgiving and I wanted to share it and see if by doing so we could multiply and extend that feeling. There are so many who could really use a little good energy thrown their way. Don't be shy. Besides, if you were caught screaming your head off, jumping up and down, sobbing, and just generally acting like a maniac on November 4, there's nothing left to be shy about.

So, for me:
I'm thankful on behalf of all Americans (even those unwilling to support Barack), the international community, and planet Earth, for our new President. I know I'm repeating myself, but I really can't say it enough. Thank God for Barack Obama.

I'm deeply grateful that I was able spend that greatest day of days, November 4th, with my beloved Chicago tribe.

I'm humbled and honored to have found a fabulous job (in this economy). But, even importantly, a job I love with people I like and --the very best part--I get to work in close proximity to good friends.

Finally, I'm grateful to the community at Salon Sassy. Sassy gave me a strong purpose this year, got me out of bed in the morning, and provided a forum to share enthusiasm, support, and love for All Things Obama. Thanks for joining us on this lovely blog. It's been a great ride.

Much love and lots of sass to everyone this holiday season.
