Happy Thanksgiving !!!

It is only "Thanksgiving" in the U.S., but despite the mountain top experiences, and the valley endurances, we try to be thankful everyday.

In 1911 Lovecraft wrote a poem to his mother, and I'm sure he was thankful for his bowl of "puffed wheat" she left for him.

I'm thankful for many, many things, though I am deeply sorry Thanksgiving Day is only a speedbump between Halloween pumpkins and Christmas buying. We need more time to reflect on the good things of life, though sometimes we have to try very hard to find the silver lining in that grey cloud.

Thanks for reading the HPL blog.

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you play Farmville, you'll recognize the cute baby turkey. :)

To those of you who celebrate your giving of thanks on other days, I offer you my thanks that you stop by periodically and think of Mr. Lovecraft. He was an atheist, but I'm not and I believe one form of immortality is remembering people who are now passed. I also thank you for stopping by and reading the blog!

In these tough economic times - and I pray they don't get tougher - let's recall that much of HPL's adult life was spent in economic marginality. Be kind to someone or think kindly of someone less fortunate today.
