I AM TOO THANKFUL!

Trolls Thanksgiving

Yes­ter­day some­one twit­tered, “Why is it so hard to remem­ber to be thank­ful dur­ing this time of year?!”

I’ll tell you why…because even though Thanks­giv­ing is always on the fourth Thurs­day of Novem­ber, it always sneaks up on us!  How does that do that?! How can you be thank­ful when you’re run­ning around like a turkey with it’s head cut off try­ing to get every­thing done in time?

I swear that I was plan­ning in October…but I lost my notes.  Then we all caught the flu from Hades or some other pig farm location.

The only sav­ing grace is that we’re not going any­where. I can’t imag­ine hav­ing to plan a trip right now.  How are you guys doing it??

I’ve been see­ing a lot of lists on how to relax and enjoy Thanks­giv­ing. They all say pretty basic things…but maybe we just need that kind of reminder.

Breathe…it clears the head a bit.

Look around you…your kids are doing some­thing that will make you laugh. And laugh­ter is the best medicine.

Give some hugs…there’s some­thing releas­ing about open­ing your arms and heart to another.

Pray…find the peace of the sea­son with a quiet moment with God.

I hope these ideas give you just a moment of peace to relax in the moment.  Maybe you might even find a sec­ond to be thankful.

Just in case: next year Thanks­giv­ing is on Novem­ber 25th. You’re wel­come. ;-)

    We’re going back to the home state to visit fam­ily and attend my cousin’s wed­ding, which is on the Sat­ur­day after Thanksgiving.

    I’m wor­ried it’s just going to be too hec­tic. Too many peo­ple to see and not enough time. I love see­ing them, but I’m afraid it’s just going to be run­ning from ‘oblig­a­tion’ to ‘oblig­a­tion’ while on our vaca­tion! *sigh*

    Ahhh, good advice. I do need to take a deep breath.

    I spent the day vol­un­teer­ing at school and shop­ping for the sea­son and now I have such a headache that I can hardly face the “left­over from the week­end” mess that sur­rounds me.

    Deep breaths, tylenol, deep breaths…

    Ahhh…deep breaths…thankfulness at being able to breathe…thankfulness in an over­fully full life rather than an overly empty one…thanks for your reminders!
