It’s My Favorite Time Of Year…

Thanksgiving is a time when traditions come into our reality and play a vital role in how we celebrate this wonderful holiday.  From cooking the turkey, baking desserts and decorating the house, it’s also a time when we get to communicate all of the things we may be feeling, but do not necessarily say to the people who are important to us.

When I think back on all of the Thanksgiving traditions we have celebrated in our family, by far the one that still holds strong, and that I look forward to, is our round robin celebration.  This is where we all hold hands before we break bread and give thanks to our “Heavenly Father” and then we take turns expressing to one another how thankful we are for our family.

I am blessed with having a beautiful daughter, both my parent’s, and other family to share my Thanksgiving with.  I have learned throughout the years, with all my trials and tribulations, that saying “I Love You” or sharing my feelings with someone that I care deeply about, does not  have to take place only on a holiday however.  Life is too short for that.

On this particular Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the awakening of my mind, the stirring of my soul, and the opening of my heart – to witness and lovingly appreciate the gift of a beautiful sunrise, a gorgeous rainbow, a lovely smile, a warm hug, a contagious laugh, and a tender touch.

It is my wish for you this holiday, that you may know these gifts and share them with the people who have touched your life.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
