Thanksgiving. It was a lovely day yesterday. The weather held, no rain and especially no thick fog in the valley. It was a relaxed day filled with conversation and lots of laughter. The food. Well, the food was great. Not too much. The fun was decorating our own Gingerbread men for dessert.
During Thanksgiving every year, mom gives each family a little something to begin the Christmas season. This year, the gift bag included a beautiful, large, very shiny, silver Christmas ball ornament for the tree. Also included, were five lottery scratch-offs. My sister won $3.00, my niece won $1.00 and I won a free ticket!
It was a long day and all three of us were exhausted. Mom had trouble even walking to her apartment and became very short of breath again. We went to bed around 11:00, which was very late for me. Today, I will try to recover with only a workout at rehab then some grocery shopping. We have been invited to Rick and Natalie house tomorrow to celebrate our birthdays. They have been really busy and this will be our time to get caught up before the next holiday madness begins.
I so hope your Thanksgiving was joyous and peaceful and that there was time to take a moment to be grateful for all the goodness in your life. Even when facing difficult health issues, there are lessons to be learned and so many things in which to be grateful.
