Thursday November 27

Today I am thankful for being too sick to go anywhere and yet well enough to make a dinner for the small family gathered at my house.

Every thanksgiving 35 people gather into a small space and cook too much food and do too many things. This thanksgiving was quite different. Me, my sons, and their father. Just the four of us and a small bird. Too many left overs and too much food went uncooked, but I think I have enough groceries to get us through to next payday. So for that too I am grateful.

A day where I didn't need to leave the house is also enough to be grateful.

Tomorrow the stores will be teaming with people and yet...I will still be home. Enjoying the small things and quiet times.

Where ever you are what ever you are doing I hope you have had the day you were hoping for and are grateful whatever the result.

Happy thanksgiving!
