And all through the house…
Yes, tomorrow is Thanksgiving and if your household is anything like mine you are as busy as can be getting things prepared for your Thanksgiving feast. Some of us will have to endure more than one Thanksgiving feast – not necessarily a bad thing if you ask me and some will be having one huge feast, while others may have a simple Thanksgiving surrounded by just a few. Yet some may be alone on this holiday.
Take the time to reflect on how you will be spending this special day, with family and friends, and then think if you know of anyone who may not have a friendly place to go. Holidays can be hard for many people – lonely. If you know of a neighbor, a single person, elder, or someone displaced from their family during the holidays, extend an open arm and invite them to join in on your festivities. Holidays can be a difficult time for many and when you already have an abundance to be thankful for, spread that abundance with someone who may not. After all, isn’t that what it is all about?
In closing, I wanted to share this cute email I got the other day. I have no idea who wrote it, but enjoy.
May your stuffing be tasty.
May your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravy
have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious,
and your pies take the prize,
and may your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off your thighs!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Cute poem, but the thighs always get the fat. At least mine do. I'm actually taking the day off tomorrow. I'll be starting on Christmas candy and cookies instead of cooking for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
ReplyDeleteI went to the nursing home and had dinner with my Mom a couple of hours ago. Looking around the room I realized how much I have in my life to be truly thankful for.
ReplyDeleteHolidays are only as difficult as you allow them to be.
ReplyDeleteCute little ditty you shared. I needed that laugh. I love cooking, but this year even wore me out. I'll be glad when the new year rolls in and I can rest from the holidays. Having 2 in a month is more than I can deal with at my age.
