Thanksgiving

Greetings~

What a busy week! Hopefully you took some time to think about what the holiday was about. Giving Thanks~gratitude. It was kind of funny, we went to church Wednesday night, and I am not sure that I have ever seen such a small group of people sitting in that place of worship. Everyone “too busy”. I am glad I got to share that message, that moment with those around me. The sermon was a message of thanks and a message of family-a nice reminder. 

On Thursday I spent the day at my Mom’s. It was a lovely HUGE meal. I ate way too much. As we were leaving I wondered how do the Black Friday shoppers do it, because Black Friday is apparently starts on Thursday at 5 pm now. I really did not have the energy to be waddling around a store, nor the desire. When I was growing up one gas station was open, everything else was closed. It was time for family and giving thanks. Food, family, fun-you interacted, you engaged, you probably ate too much.

Friday (none of the Black Friday stuff here-can you see Agoraphobia Gurl at the mall on Black Friday?) Dean’s Dad came over for our little Thanksgiving celebration. As I was cleaning the house, putting the pork loin on the rotisserie, whipping up cheesy potatoes, and all of the other necessary pre Thanksgiving day necessities I hoped I had thanked my parents and sister for all of the work they had done the day before! A few more people should have been sitting around that table.

When the holidays roll around I really miss my Grandparents, they have been gone for so many years. I wish I would have taken more time. Everything else seemed so much more important, when I was younger and time seemed infinite. I thought I had forever with my Grandparents, but we don’t have forever so it is important to make phone calls, have visits, show up at the holidays, make sure “I love you” is said and known-we take so much for granted and time slips away so quickly. Live without regret.

The weekend continues-more activities.

Just remember to take some time to reflect upon what we have and who we have to be thankful for : )

Love and Light,

Happy Birthdays to my Annie and Rachel-I love you both!
