Just pondering the holiday we call Thanksgiving. I have heard so much negativity associated in the so called "lost Thanksgiving" and I'm here to give you a different perspective.
I have been noticing, and loving by the way, all of the daily posts on fb regarding blessings and what people are thankful for. I notice the brotherly and sisterly love and outpouring support at the food banks and local charities. I notice that people put more emphasis on family time. It is truly an inspiration to me.
My personal Thanksgiving insights include many things. I love and cherish my family! Number one in my life.
My husband, children, their spouses and soon to be spouses, and their children. My mom and my brother and sisters. My mother in law, my husbands brother and sisters. As you can tell, my family is my life. The fun late night talks with my kids as we make mounds of potatoes, and jello salads. The funny videos that get funnier the more we watch. The love we show with one another that makes me excited to spend an eternity with them.
A gratitude for my daughter and her hubby who took care of my mom while I went to work out.
Then their is the yearly turkey burn. I chose fun dance because life wouldn't be fun without dance. Sharing this year with my cute daughter. And of coarse their is my fun dance family, what a blast it was. Watching the different women forget for a moment the trials they face and just dance!
Then coming home to see my cute grandson sprawled out next to my son.
Now after all of the build up the day is finally here. Preparing, eating, playing games, sharing, Maceys Thanksgiving Parade. How could anyone ever say Thanksgiving is over looked? It's alive and thriving in my home.
Happy Thanksgiving friends!
