Giving Thanks 2024
“I am grateful for” by mb hanrahan
Last Thanksgiving I quoted Erin Geesaman Rabke: “Pay attention. Find the blessing. It’s passing. Everything is a gift, and nothing lasts.” These past few weeks have been challenging for me, and have often felt hopeless as I wrote here. As we live under the shadow of what is to come from the president elect, these are wise words to keep in mind. But today, this Thanksgiving, I am appreciating artist mb hanrahan’s simple approach: to count her blessings. Like mb, I have many blessings I am grateful for, among them a beautiful day skiing on fresh powder under bluebird skies on uncrowded slopes, and staying with friends in a cozy condo in the trees with views of both the Sierras and the White Mountains where we enjoyed Champagne and Zinfandel and smoked ham and pies (no not my famous homemade pecan this time; read about it here).

I’m grateful for the many adventures I’ve had in the past year like Burning Man — and for those to come…
And I’m grateful for you too– thank you for reading and for subscribing.
Now tell me: What are you grateful for?
PS Read a few of my wine adventures on Wine Predator:
Like Portugal (read more here). and a visit to Sonoma’s Extradimensional (read more here). In April I found myself in Texas for the eclipse with the Frey family with lots of great wine and a stop to taste wine in Marfa Texas at Alta Marfa. And more to come on Wine Predator about my May press trip to Italy.
