Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

It was a glorious day.

I am thankful

I was late this morning. So I couldn't take time to stop for a picture.

The time of my commute does allow time for reflection and in this week of Thanksgiving, I have three thanks I want to offer from my drive this morning.

First, as I was between West Oneonta and West Laurens, the pink of the sunrise filled the entire sky, not just my rearview mirror. I am thankful for the sunrise.

Next, after driving up the hill out of South New Berlin, I am thankful that the driver of the red Nissan 4x4 in front of me knew the "Rule of Two". When one deer goes across the highway, there will be at least one more following. They were beautiful creatures. I wish I could run up that hill with them.

Lastly, I am thankful for the school bus driver that pulled off when he could to let me zoom on by. Even though I never really see their faces in my rearview mirror, I wave at them as I go by. I'm sure they have a very tough job.
