Top 5 Things I am Thankful for this year:
By Michael D. Catherwood
 
1. I started this year and will (hopefully) finish the year employed.  A bunch of people, me being one, are curious what the actual focus and goal of the occupy protests are.  I have a feeling that it has something to do with so many Americans being out of work.  Its never been worse on the job front and I am well aware of how lucky I am to punch a clock every day.
 
2.  I got to spend the final moments of my Grandfather's life with him.  Last year my father's father past away in the Portland area and I feel remiss in not having been there to say certain things to him before he left us.  Just over one month ago my mother's father passed away and although I'm not happy about his death, I am profoundly grateful to have held him in his final moments. 
 
3.  The splendor of my dogs.   There are nights when I come home from work and feel completely detached from the world.  I work late and live in a isolated part of the LA beaches so it kinda adds to the whole alone thing.  No matter how bad it may get, I open the door to my house and my dogs are always there to greet me.  Sure they are locked in so they have no where to go, but it doesn't change the fact that they are there.  Invariably loving and non judgemental.  I don't know if I could have weathered certain storms without them.
 
4.  Rediscovering My Spirituality.  Now hold on all you seculars, cynics, atheists, and agnostics.  I'm not a born again or a bible thumper who is here to tell you how I discovered any deity or dogma, nor am I here to bemoan the evils of organized faith.  I simply strengthened my belief in there being something bigger and more powerful than I.  I exercise to make me more in tune with my body, I read to make me more in touch with my mind and now I can pray to bolster my connection with my soul. 
 
5.  Another Thanksgiving without A Drink.  I don't want to get too much more detailed than that.  My hats off to you folks who can handle liquor.  I am not one of you.  I shiver with gratitude for every day that passes in which I don't take a sip.
 
 
My favorite Thanksgiving recipe is homemade applesauce.  Homemade Cranberry Sauce is covered by our man Adam "Ace" Carolla so I want to give some love to the good old apple sauce.  Its simple and delish bitches!

Ingredients

  • 4 apples - peeled, cored and chopped
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, combine apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon. Cover, and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until apples are soft. Allow to cool, then mash with a fork or potato masher.
Thanks for sharing Mike! We hope you had a "delish" and Happy Thanksgiving!
