Thanksgiving

Just got done the T'day meal and I'm taking a moment to reflect on what the day means to me...

A couple of years ago, Thanksgiving was a very different day for me. I've always had plenty to be thankful for and have always been aware of the blessings in my life, but for a couple years, Thanksgiving was always a personal day... I didn't go have a big meal with a bunch of friends or family, instead, I'd have a turkey hoagie by myself and just enjoy the day that way.

Now I don't want the image of me eating a sandwich alone to seem like a sad thing. It was the opposite, it was enjoyable not having to rush around here or there. It was my day, and spent in a very personal, reflective way...

Now adays things are different. I'm engaged and most years T'day is about rushing here and there, and all the other hectic commitments that I guess make up a life. This year Patty and I didn't go home for the holiday, we stayed local, and did Thanksgiving just by ourselves... and it was wonderful.
