Happy Thanksgiving one and all! The start of the holiday season is upon us - yeaaaaa! I do love this time of the year. This year, for the first time, I'm cooking a turkey dinner and all the fixings with a friend. I did all the shopping, cleaning, organizing, prepping, and will do clean up - and he's doing most of the actual cooking. Which works great for me, as I can cook to feed myself, but cooking is not a priority, or something that I enjoy unless I'm doing it for friends, or a special occasion. Today's a special occasion, so I'm making an effort! By the time I'm done, I'm sure I'll literally 'fall into bed' but it will be worth it.
Most importantly, I do plan to make some quiet time for myself to reflect a bit on all that I have in my life, and all that I am. I have so much to be grateful for - and on this Thanksgiving, and onward, I am counting my blessings. With that in mind I wish you a wonderful holiday, and send these warm words of inspiration your way . . .
"Thanksgiving is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude." E.P. Powell
"Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude! Henry Ward Beecher
"What we're really talking about is a wonderful day set aside on the fourth Thursday of November when no one diets. I mean, why else would they call it Thanksgiving." Erma Bombect, 'No One Diets On Thanksgiving, November 26, 1981.
