What am I thankful for this year…

My blood related family. Mom, Robert, My sister Janice, even my brothers, Tom and Dave.
My good friends. Old friends that I’ve reconnected with, new friends that I’ve connected with even more. Friends, without them, this world would completely suck
The BroaderView Weekly. I can’t even put into words how grateful I am for the opportunities that I’ve gotten in the last several months. I look forward to what the next several months bring.
My health. For as good or bad as it is, I have my health.
All the opportunities that I’ve been given in all my time on the Internet. I know that sounds odd, but a lot of things that I’ve been able to do wouldn’t have been possible because of all the wonderful people that I’ve met online.

There’s a lot more, but my brain decided to shut itself off.

Okay, since someone thought it was intriguing, I figured I’d post the recipe for my Aunt’s salad.
This makes enough to feed a small army, so feel free to cut it back!

3 boxes of Pistachio Pudding
1 container of cool whip
2 cans of fruit salad/cocktail drained thoroughly
1 jar maraschino cherries, drained thoroughly

Optional:
Finely chopped pistachio’s or other nuts of choice
Grapes (red or white)
Chunk pineapple
Fresh Fruit of your choice

Make pudding according to directions, fold in cool whip, fruit, cherries, nuts, chill and serve cold.

Super simple and yummy. You can use fresh fruit if you have it available, make sure it’s bite size, no juice, no water, etc. If the fruit is wet, the pudding and cool whip will break down and get watery. Do not make this more than a few hours in advance, for the same reason. The natural juice of the fruits will make it watery.
