Thanksgiving........my favorite holiday. Nothing is expected from anyone aside from some good vittles and a comfy, cozy, atmosphere spent with family. Something magical happens on Thanksgiving........we become more focused on the many blessings we've been bestowed in our lives. We take a calm, deep breath and allow "life to be life" for a day. No worries, no timelines, no problem..........a blessing before a meal with hands interlocked around the table, chatter, naps, movies, and hot, comforting beverages round the ol' woodstove. My Thanks & Blessing
1. The health of my entire family
2. The safety of our soldiers.
3. My sweet husband, who has allowed me to be ME!
4. My home
5. My animals
6. Friends
7. My belief
8. My life
9. A special blessing to those who have passed before me.....I miss you all dearly.
May you all have a blessed, and "comfy" Thanksgiving with those you love.
~Happy Thanksgiving~
This is my favorite holiday as well, Kathi. Even with all the fuss over cooking our traditional dishes, done out of love and respect for our families, we take time to appreciate everything we do have.
ReplyDeleteAs I've gotten older, I have come to believe that we all need to do "Thanksgivings" more often throughout the year. And I think I see a glimmer of that very thing now that people are concentrating more on what's really important in life...instead of trying to out-do neighbors, or have that fancy car, or the latest techno-gadgets, etc.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Kathy, you are absolutely right. All of us should "do" more Thanksgivings throughout the year. Bless you friend and hugs to ewe!
