Today’s
Thanksgiving treat is an illustration from William
Joyce’s delightful A Day With Wilbur
Robinson.
If I may
intrude with some autobiography, it has been an interesting year for your
correspondent and his loved ones. We’ve
suffered loss within the family, have faced a number of pressures in our
businesses, and have watched with dismay as a global situation seemed to get
progressively worse.
But, for
all of that, we are still happy. Trite
as this sounds (and trust me, I do know it sounds trite), as I get older I
really do believe that there is no way to happiness, and that happiness is
simply the way. I am wonderstruck by our
mere existence, and wouldn’t have it any other way. Irony and ennui will never seep into our
bones. Despite the many negatives that
life throws at us, we are grateful for our time, for being together, and for
the miracle of life.
My goal
during the past year of The Jade Sphinx has been to help, to some degree, to
illustrate that miracle, and to help illustrate how that miracle works.
Happy
Thanksgiving to you and yours. I think
we can now safely say we are on our way to the holiday season.
