Giving Thanks...
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving 2012.
We had Missi's 21st Birthday celebration last night at Mirakuya, the whole gang, the WHOLE GANG. It was a good night.
Jack has had two super weeks at school.
I have been able to work a whole bunch of hours for holiday and storm makeup days.
Allie and Ryan went on a little getaway weekend to Niagara falls and had a great time.
Andy has finally finished the concrete wall in front of the house. HUGE deal.
Nana has been good, had a good cardiologist appt.
My stomach is finally feeling bettter.
I am able to go to the grocery store to get whatever I need for holiday dinners, and whatever may be on my mind for dinner.
I am able to plan for Christmas and what I want to get everyone, we have enough money to get what I want to get them all.
I am writing again and it feels good.
I have friends that I know will be there for me if I need them.
I WANT to be their person.
Thats a good thing, I am thankful.
I can walk tomorrow morning, I will walk tomorrow morning after I get the turkey in the oven.
I will walk and sing along, breath cold cold air, wear gloves and think about my lucky lucky days.
I'll think about Thanksgiving days of the past.
On the farm, at the Bailey's, at my Mothers, at my Nana's, here at 501.
Thanksgivings I have had to work, at the hospital or detox, but still survived.
Our boy is really coming along, That is so so beyond gratitude.
That I CAN work, even when I dont want to haha, I am grateful.
That my grown children make sure they can get back to our home to be together.
Knowing our loved one that aren't here, really ARE here. Because that spinning time continuum thing is for real.
Close your eyes tomorrow, when no one s looking and imagine that someone, or those people that have a special PLACE at the table.
Whisper you secret, "I am so grateful to have had you, I am THANKFUL to know what that means to have it all."
I have it all, I'll take the hard days, I'll mutter and sputter through the mistakes and shortcomings to keep the LOVE that doesnt end because we aren't perfect.
My nephew Danny is being discharged Dec 7th from the US marine Corp. He is finished.
The longest time of holding your breath and surviving has just about come to an end.
His amazing commitment to our United States of America, is forever on my mind as one of the greatest sacrifices I've ever witnessed.
What a guy, how proud I am of him.
I am so very very THANKFUL he is physically in one piece. Whatever he needs to feel back HOME, we will do. As best I can.
My babies are growing up, my husband is healthy and working hard, my body is still kicking and TICKING.
My family is healthy and together, in heart if not in miles.
I am a humbled THANKFUL gal.
Now... tell me why do turkeys have to be in the oven at 6am?
I thought that was just an attention getter for the women in the family, but really...
I have to put the bird in by 6am to have it done by 1 for the gang.
Yeah eyah yeha Im grateful thankful, except for the 6am bird.
Love you all. Forebber.
