Yes, it’s that time of year to break out the turkey and dressing and eat too much.

Thanksgiving is perhaps my second favorite holiday behind Christmas.

When I was younger, my  mother fixed Thanksgiving dinner with all
the family...including..Aunts and Uncles and cousins. Seemed like everyone was eating everywhere. A beautiful table was in the dinning room, one set up in the living room.
There was always just so much food, and it was good, made-from-scratch and made with tons of love kind of food. Ah, the pies..!!!
I would eat myself into oblivion and a Tryptophan dreams.

I often wondered when I was younger why everyone took naps after eating Thanksgiving dinner. That turkey will put you to sleep.
Actually, I still eat myself into oblivion. I would gather to think everyone does. It’s hard to pass up great food.

Now, I’m older and Thanksgiving has taken on a new meaning for me. It’s not just about the food and thinking Christmas is just around the corner.It’s a time for me to reflect on all the loved ones who have gone before us to remember the things they left behind in love and wisdom.

They remind me of simplicity. None of them ever had a ton of money.
But they enjoyed life and being together.
 I’m thankful to be alive for another day. I’m thankful when I’m given another day with the people who I love, as I’ve come to understand that life is sweeping like the wind.
As you gather around the table on Thanksgiving to eat, drink and be merry, take a moment to look around and realize all of your blessings are right in front of you.

I’m not talking about that turkey, either.

Love...Light and Peace.
