My Thanksgiving Wish for YouMay you enjoy time with people you love.
May you savor wonderful flavors and delicious dinners.
May you think of family and friends, past and present, near and far.
May you hug one another and value each and every moment you have to spend together.
May you avoid the pitfalls of family arguments, from politics to religion to "mom always liked you best."
May you give thanks for what you have -- and not dwell on not what you don't.
May you cope with grace and acceptance with dinner that's ready at different times, gravy that lumps, stuffing that isn't your own (it's stuffing -- what's not to love no matter who makes it!) and the scales the next morning.
May you enjoy parades or football, Scrabble or a long walk, a road trip or welcoming friends and family.
May you celebrate with love, gratitude and grace for the gifts we receive from challenge, the strength we can build from loss and the joy that exists in the smile of a stranger, an unexpected call from a friend and the love that is present in the touch of a hand, a gentle kiss, a warm hug or a benevolent grin.
May you have a lovely and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving.

ReplyDeleteHi, Jeanie!!!! Hope its been and continues to be a fabulous Thanksgiving Day.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say there's been major food consumption going on over here but the best part is making it. Isn't it great to be in the kitchen out of sheer desire, and also to have the time to do so?
Have mucho catching up to do. In the meantime, hugs and hello to you and yours!
The meal has been eaten.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well! I had a great time with my family! The Thanksgiving feast was wonderful, and then we all gathered again last night in my condo and enjoyed lasagnas (which turned out really good!).
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie! Thanksgiving was probably one of the best in years - friends and family, the parade, and good food. My son wanted to play a game, which we hadn't done in years - it was great fun! Hope your day was extra special and that you enjoy the weekend too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanie. You hit on all of the important things to remember. We had a fantastic day and I hope you did, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie! A slighty belated Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing your beautiful heart:)

I especially like the wish for not getting caught in arguments. Family times can be precious, and also tense! Thankfully our tensions did not involve arguments, and my mother-in-law is improving daily.
