I love Thanksgiving. I mean enamored by it. It is by far my favorite day of the year. I love the smell of Thanksgiving. I love the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade for all its cheesiness. (Who doesn't love a big balloon?) I am someone who is truly thankful at Thanksgiving and grateful to be surrounded by the people I love, with food. Food is important, especially the stuffing. I would marry stuffing if I could.
Sorry, I got lost in a moment of lusting after stuffing.
I was reading a blog I recently discovered written by a newbie to a messge board of woman that have become an integral part of my life. She had given herself the challenge to write down what she was thankful for in 100 words. I liked the idea and I stole it. We need more days like tomorrow to truly reflect on the joys of life around us. There are plenty of days where we focus on complaining about what isn't right or what we wish we had, but we need more days that are a celebration of life. And stuffing. In life we need more stuffing. So here are my thankfuls, in 100 words:
I am thankful for my husband and his undying love. For my daughter and all the gifts she has given me. For family, and friends that are like family. For laughing with co-workers when under stress. For coffee. I am thankful for health; mine and those I love. For my church and it’s parishioners who helped renew my faith. I am grateful to have a job and a home in this troubled economy when there are so many who are without. I am thankful for Obama. And optimism. Thank you for spa treatments. Facials, massages, pedicures. To stuffing: thanks!
