2020 was a strange year (so far) full of danger, disappointment and setbacks, but still I am thankful to be alive and healthy and doing well.
In the under 65 age group, I faced a 0.00018 chance of dying this year due to covid and so far have avoided that.
Contrast this Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims who faced real danger. 45 of 102 Mayflower passengers died in the winter of 1620–21.
We are (mostly) fortunate to live in amazingly prosperous times, and I am thankful for the good health of family in this challenging year.
