I’ve been following XKCD for, well, decades. Over the years, I’ve seen many friends not get the privilege of growing old. For me, this is a powerful gift and one that I don’t ever intend to take for granted. Perhaps the most powerful Thanksgiving sentiment I’ve ever felt.
For those of you in the US, may you have a blessed and rejuvenating Thanksgiving. And for the rest of you, may the reminder of this week set you up for continued growth and progress.
Update: WordPress reminded me that this is a series and I’ve written about past iterations. Check this one out: I Love XKCD!
I’d not given much thought to Thanksgiving until recently, Carl.
But Bill at pinklightsabre wrote a nice piece that gave me a proper feel for its US meaning.
It turns out one Territory of Australia – half way between you and me – does celebrate because of contact with American whalers in the early days of Norfolk Island. Their Thanksgiving Public Holiday is today, so it seems fair enough for me to say thank you for all your posts, Carl and have a great Thanksgiving.
Kind regards,
DD
Thanks, DD! I had no idea about the Australian Territory also celebrated Thanksgiving.
All the best, my friend!
