While my family is small now there are lots of fond memories of past celebrations. There was never any football or any such sport stuff in our family. Our family concentrated on just being together and valuing that time.
When I was young, my family was so important. There were no computers, cell phones, drones, or other distractions. The Macy parade was my favorite activity. The oversized balloons were always a fascination. While us kids were sprawled out on the floor watching the parade, the adults were engaged in conversation that included a lot of laughter.
The food, of course, was worthy of five stars, and most of us ate way too much. We packed in a lot of love on days like these.
It’s days like this that you can’t duplicate, so you take in as much as you can. While a lot of family members have passed on, they certainly have not been forgotten because they have already left their footprints on this world and in our hearts.
Today, remember is not about politics, foreign policies, or other hot news topics. Today is about being thankful for life, and it’s many blessings.
Have a safe, healthy, happy Thanksgiving.
What I am thankful for:
A loving God that has been so good to me.
A wonderful family that has always supported me and valued me.
Pretty good health that allows me to continue to live my way.
The good sense to live a financially secure life to the best of my ability.
Take a moment to be grateful. It could be a real eye opener for some.
Have a blessed day!
