The cooking, feasting and clean-up is done.
We are all sitting around with stuffed bellies, content... enjoying each other's company.
A bit sad because my baby girl is in Spain this year and for the first time since she was born 22 years ago, I am celebrating Thanksgiving without her.
Another sad thought creeps into our minds (although it is ever-present in our hearts)... we miss our dear Bebe and Swinton (my husband's parents). Just two short years ago, Bebe was with us; and four years ago, they were both with us.
But nonetheless, we are thankful. There are so many things in our lives that have meaning and that we don't always take time to appreciate.
To me, Thanksgiving is a reminder to not take anything in this life for granted.
Enjoy the todays; enjoy each other.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend.
