Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all who may be reading this!

To me, Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate family. The busier that life seems to get for everyone, the more important it is to step back and remember all the things in our lives we have to be thankful for. Personally, I am thankful for the love of a wonderful husband, a great daughter, the best parents in the world, an extended family who is beyond description, friends from years gone by and new friends. Our family will be celebrating tomorrow, as some members actually have to work today - a family dinner with everyone present is our tradition. Each of us will bring a dish, and whoever has the most space available for all 14 of us is where we gather. We'll talk and laugh, and probably bicker a bit too - that's just how our family is. We'll have a glass of wine, relax and play with the kids and remind ourselves how very fortunate we are that we're able to spend the evening together, that we are all in relatively good health and count our blessings for everything we have, forgetting, even for a short time, about the things that we don't and have been wishing for....
