I love Thanksgiving! I love it more than Christmas. I love it almost equally with my birthday! Why? Because Thanksgiving is still so pure! They don't start playing Thanksgiving songs 6 months ahead of time on the radio. They don't put Thanksgiving decorations out in stores until after Halloween. And Thanksgiving doesn't try to steal attention from other Holidays.
Funny enough though, I don't really like Turkey. I prefer the dark meat slathered in gravy and I take big helpings of the mashed potatoes, turnips and carrots, and broccoli casserole. Oh and my aunt's stuffing. Mmmm.
I love that my kids don't wake me up at 4am to see what the Pilgrims left them under the Rock. I love that we sit and cuddle to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I could go on and on for hours. The only thing I dislike is that my kids have to go to their dad's but I certainly understand that he and his family want to see them too.
So here's my short list of what I'm thankful for this year...
1.My beautiful girls. They are so good. Always well behaved and never REALLY give me any trouble.
2. The handsome, warm, generous, loving man that I soon get to call HUSBAND! Since he has come into my life everything is better.
3. My pretty new home. It's cozy and more than I ever dreamed I'd have.
4. My family and my future in-laws. I am surrounded by crazy wonderful people.
5. My friends. Everyday I find out who my true friends are and I am so grateful to have them in my life.
6. Health. Everyone I know is reasonably healthy.
7. A job. While I don't love mine I'm glad that I have one.
I think about where I was a year ago and how much I've gained and accomplished, and it makes me so happy I could cry.
I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
