Thankful

Oooh Thanksgiving. How do I love thee. The time of year when American's consume, on average, 4500 calories in one 24-hour period. And can you blame us? Thanksgiving dinner is, by far, my absolute favorite dinner of.all.time.
Well until Christmas that is. Then Christmas dinner becomes my all.time.favorite.
But you get the idea. I love food and I love holidays. I was *made* for this time of year.
Aside from the deliciousness that is Thanksgiving, I've got plenty to be thankful for (about now Sissie and Mom are singing along with Bing Crosby. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, do yourself a favor and watch Holiday Inn and you too can be in on the secret).
Topping my list of what I'm thankful for is my family.
Hands-down.
Bar-none.
Easy-peasy.
Without them I am nothing. With them I am everything.
My heart breaks for anyone who doesn't have this at the top of their list. If there's something you can do to get them to the top, then do it. Bury the hatchet. Make amends. Mend fences. Hug it out. Sing kumbaya. Do whatever it takes because believe me, you're missing out.
But I digress.
God has blessed me in more ways than I will ever realize or know. He's a great guy who hears us, all the time, no matter where we're at. You'd be best to remember that.
And again, I digress.
Where was I?
Oh yeah. Thanksgiving. Giving thanks. What I'm thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving and remember someone out there is thankful for you. What a great feeling that is, no? Take 2 seconds and pester the person/people you're most thankful for. All it takes is a hug, a kiss and maybe new diamond earrings to prove your gratitude.
Or wait. Scratch that.
Kisses aren't always necessary.
Some way or another you've blessed my life, and I hope I've managed to do the same in return. May God bless you and keep you and your blessings safe and happy this Thanksgiving.
And really, do yourself a favor, give thanks where thanks are due.
Happy Thanksgiving! Now letting the eating commence!
