Thanksgiving

I love, love, love Thanksgiving. I have been so blessed in my life and I am grateful that we have a "holiday" set aside for being Thankful.

I have wonderful memories of childhood Thanksgivings with all the cousins and aunts and uncles. Everyone would come and spend the day and we would build wonderful forts in the barn out of haybales. In those days we didn't have a television set so there were no football games to dictate the schedule. It was such a different time and lifestyle.

But one thing hasn't changed and that is that I have been blessed. I took a few minutes the other day to sit and address Thanksgiving cards to send to all my clients from this past year. I was amazed at how many there were. I am very grateful to have been involved with each of them and they have all left an imprint on my life.

I am behind on Thanksgiving preparations this year but I have decided to not stress about it and just enjoy it. Now that three of our children have "flown the coop", family dinners are even more special. We will be missing one this year which will be really strange but everyone else will be here and I'm looking forward to enjoying time spent together. (I'm also planning on hours of music, hint, hint Jessica)
