Thankful

It’s Thanksgiving week and families are gathering to celebrate all they are grateful for. It is a perfect time to reflect on the past year and know that you have people in your life who love and care for you.
I love the holiday season and how it brings thoughts of the past into our consciousness. I appreciate remembering the relatives who have passed and the memories of their lives. I particularly love thinking about how many of their decisions have affected my life. I know that I’m here because of all of my ancestors and I carry a part of them with me throughout every day.
I am going to make the full out Thanksgiving dinner. I love the left overs as much as the original feast and look forward to making turkey soup that will last me throughout most of the month to come.
I hope all of you enjoy your time with your family and friends.
