Today was Thanksgiving in Canada.  It is not as big a holiday as it is in the US.  But is still is a day to stop and ponder our blessings.

For the first time in 16 years I did not organize SKs to come over for a family dinner.   I told DH to let me know if he wanted them.  He did not ask and they did not come, call or contact us.  This is consistent with their conduct - take and don’t give back. Indeed, I am never contacted, invited or included. It is all about them. So it made sense that they never even called to say hello.

We had a lovely day on our own.  Lesson learned.
