Oops!

You know, in the hubbub and excitement of the weekend, I'm afraid I completely overlooked mentioning a very important day. Like many important days, sometimes it becomes mired in commercialism and fake sentiment, both of which obscure the real impact it has. People are expected to feel certain things, or maybe they feel obligated to do certain things, or they may even feel like they're coerced into spending money and such just to keep up with an expected image. None of that for me. Nope, I am just thankful for the day -- this year it fell on this past Saturday -- and what it represents.
