Giving thanks ...


This year it feels like Thanksgiving popped up the day after Halloween. For some reason, I feel like the months are just racing by, and soon we'll be decking the halls and digging out from yet another snowstorm.

I've been thinking a lot about this year, and what I'm thankful for, and what I can really do without. There are things that are going on with my family that I unfortunately can't share on my blog, in order to respect their privacy. Sometimes I wish I could just unload it all here, and read your supportive comments, and know that this, too, shall pass. And this. And this.

Even so, I have my health, a good job, and a loving family. I have my friends, both old and new, virtual and in real life. I have my music, and all that comes with it.

I have life. A good, full life. And I am most grateful for that.

Enjoy the day, take a moment to give thanks for what is good, and let go of what may not be working. For that one second.

Take the moment and drink it in.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I know how you feel. I was feeling so overwhelmed and miserable the other day, and then all of the sudden I thought, my goodness, my WORST day is a much better day than so many others' BEST days.

We are all taxed/blessed with what the universe feels we can handle, I guess. And I am grateful for every single day.
