I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving Day to all of those that celebrate it in one fashion or another. It is a time to reflect on the past year so far and being thankful for being alive. Most people take that for granted. It's a miracle that I get to live another day. Tomorrow is promised to no one.
Last year on Thanksgiving Day, I spent my dinnertime at a Hometown Buffet location in San Diego, California all alone. At that time, I was living at the St. Vincent De Paul Homeless shelter. There were four reasons why I ended up there.
1. Lack of jobs
2. Lack of money
3. Bad life choices
4. Bad financial decisions made in the past.
By the Grace of God, I am now in Colorado Springs, Colorado with three roommates. I won't be alone this Thanksgiving. It may be the only one where I am not alone.
My family is long gone. I don't know if I still have family east of the Orlando area.
I saw that there was a pumpkin pie downstairs. When dinner is done, I'll have my Dublin Dr. Pepper that I had been saving for such an occasion.
In other news, I saw that the Pikes Peak Chocolate & Ice Cream location in Downtown Colorado Springs is moving. I don't know where the new location will be. When I do find out, I'll let you know. Loaf N Jug is having a Black Friday sale from today at 12 Noon to 6 pm on Black Friday with 12 oz. hot coffee for 25 cents and a 32 oz. fountain soft drink for 25 cents as well. Check your local location for details.
