re395: Thanksgiving 2024 in the USA

[00:00:02] A Thanksgiving tale 2024 in the style of the Night Before Christmas Twas the morn of Thanksgiving, and all through my mind were the moments and memories this year left behind. [00:00:20] From travels afar to lands near and wide I'm grateful for journeys and joy by my side. [00:00:30] From Biarritz breezes to Prague's cobbled streets, Germany's charm and Austin's warm greets San Francisco's hills, San Diego's shore, Phoenix and Vegas. I couldn't ask for more. [00:00:47] But it's not just the places, the sights or the scenes. It's the friends I've embraced, the moments between. [00:00:56] For old ties rekindled and new bonds begun. I'm thankful for friendships, each and every one. [00:01:07] As family grows distant in time or in place, we weave friends as family a bond to embrace. [00:01:18] While parents and elders pass through life's door their lessons and love stay with us evermore. [00:01:29] My wife finds her joy in the work she holds dear and my youngest explores Italy's wonders. This year my eldest plans boldly his paths to commence a move to the States. What exciting suspense this year brought Transitions a dance with the past. Yet the present's a gift and the future's a vast canvas of moments both measured and free. With Kairos and Kronos guiding time's sea the magician and mathematician combine enchanting the moments with rhythm and line. [00:02:16] For math gives us order and magic the thrill. Together they weave time's tapestry. Still, I'm thankful for purpose, for helping others create, to spark their first work and unlock their fate. [00:02:37] A single word shared can transform and ignite into pages and stories that bring dreams to light. [00:02:49] I'm an instigator, a catalyst, a guide, helping others discover the strength they've inside, a trigger for change, A beginner's best friend who nudges them forward to where they can ascend. [00:03:07] So perhaps this next year, with its dreams and its tragic will center on one word simply magic. [00:03:19] Or maybe magical. [00:03:22] Both feel quite right to capture life's wonder, its joy and its light. [00:03:30] And so on this day I give thanks from my core for love, for creation, for what lies in store, for the past, for the present, for what's yet to be. [00:03:45] Happy Thanksgiving to you and to me.
