Thanksgiving

This is the holiday that we should all think about what we are thankful for.....

Has your mother ever asked you to go around the table and say something you are thankful for this year before you are allowed to eat. The whole time other people are talking you're thinking well I'm very hungry so I better think of something quick to say. Oh I know, I'm thankful for my family and friends. Sometimes I hope that my mom will not make us do that because with our numbers, it takes a while and the food gets cold.

No, really. It's a nice tradition.

This year, I am thankful that I am not having an anxiety attack two or three times a day due to some awesome meds. I am also thankful that it is just going to be my husband and I at our house this year instead of too many people and too much noise.

However, since my father passed I am not thankful that he is not around to celebrate. But most importantly this year, I am not thankful that my mom is going on a cruise and I won't be able to see or talk to her for several days. I know, what a whimp right. Our family is splitting up this year and I will miss her the most. Oh well, Jorge and I will have the little turkey breast I bought to roast with the sides and be comfortable in our home especially since we don't have to entertain anyone. Nice and stress free. That is what I need this year. Oh and I cannot forget our puppy Shadow.

Besides, we can be thankful for what we have that is good and what we don't have that is not good everyday anyway.

Happy Thanksgiving to the people the might be reading these. Happy Thanksgiving to the empty space of the Internet if no one is reading them.

Remember your mother, she works hard to put the meal on the table. Don't go crazy on Black Friday.
