Can you believe it!! The Holidays have officially kicked off and most of us have a short work week to enjoy. So many things to be grateful for, especially getting some much needed quality time in with my family. It seems like the days run faster and faster and sometimes it is easy to lose sight of the big picture.
Well, I am slowing down to enjoy this Thanksgiving. I am taking little Tyson over to his Great Grandmother’s house to enjoy her honey baked ham and turkey!! Yummmm… she cooks so well. There are not that many ‘mommas’ out there that can’t pull off Grandma’s cooking anymore, at least I know I would be struggling. Truth be known, I have never cooked a turkey. (ahhh- -did I say that out loud?) In the years to come, I’ll have to gain new skills in the kitchen to show little T that his mama has a little talent! One of my greatest blessings is that Tyson has a ‘Great Grandmother’. We are truly blessed. She spends at least one day a week with him and I have never seen her face light up so much. On top of that, my dearest cousin (newly married) is coming down from up North. This will be one of the best Turkey day’s ever. This will be the first time she will see my little man. She got married back in June, and well, I was about to pop so I did not make that trip up to see her get married. Can you imagine being on the road and your water breaking - -ahhhh - -that would be a trip…really a trip! So, needless to say, I stayed near the hospital at that time.
I hope everybody has a loving family to spend Turkey day with and will cherish that time. Even if you have that one crazy family member, brush it off (trust me, I know your pain – ha-ha) Make this year a beautiful gathering time and enjoy every moment. Another thought, if you have cans of food in your pantry that you can spare to help somebody…some family in need, go drop them off at a food bank. People are in desperate need right now, and we could never place ourselves above it. You never know. Stay warm and keep on keepin’ it!
As always, make it a good one! Carmen
