The Thanks before we give Thanks

Feeling a little low tonight. I’m in the mood to have a really good cry, then watch Pride & Prejudice and eat chocolate to cheer myself up.

I don’t enjoy these yucky moods – I feel like I’m viewing my life through the eyes of a particularly stern instructor and finding myself failing in all areas. Sigh. I’m so glad it is Thanksgiving this week. I have so much to be thankful for, and I love this holiday for reminding me.

Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite days of the year. I love spending time with family, watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (LOVE that!), and preparing and eating a delicious meal (turkey, stuffing, and cranberries, oh my!) At Thanksgiving I have the whole Christmas season laid out before me, sparkling and emitting a rosy glow, just waiting to be unwrapped and enjoyed moment by moment.

Here’s to enjoying and being thankful for each moment this season.
