Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!<\/strong> I am off to make a Tres Leche Cake<\/strong><\/a> and Baked Oatmeal<\/strong><\/a>, among other things!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re feeling a little overwhelmed<\/strong> or wondering what there is to be thankful about, Marcia Morrissey has a pretty helpful column<\/strong><\/a>, in that case.<\/p>\n

Also, if you need a few tips<\/strong> on handling family over the course of the weekend, you can check out Fr. James Martin\u2019s advice<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Will see you again on Friday!<\/strong> I hope Thanksgiving opens our hearts with gladness and gratitude for the gift of life we have been given, and my prayers will be for all of us \u2014 the rich, poor, busy, marginalized, lonely, over-worked, sick, worried; it is true that we are all in the midst of a great battle, not always apparent to others. God bless us all.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: I didn\u2019t see Obama\u2019s pardoning <\/strong>of the turkeys but Kathy Schiffer did<\/strong><\/a>. It sounds remarkably classless, inappropriate and kind of pathetic.<\/p>\n

Comments will close later this afternoon, to free me up from monitoring, and to control spam while I\u2019m \u201coff.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
