We finally got some snow at the cabin, just in time for Thansksgiving! Snowing at Stevens Pass, too, but not enough to open for awhile.
Thanksgiving Reflection: Today I’m giving thanks for all of it. Sometimes I have imposter syndrome when I take stock of all the blessings in my life. I’m thankful for my children, my mother, and my extended family. I give thanks daily for our good health and the ability to swim year-round at our pool. I have the best job ever: I feel purposeful and get to make a positive impact every day. I am able to provide a stable home in a wonderful neighborhood with many neighbors who are also friends. I am able to feed my growing children and think about the presents I will buy for them for Christmas just to see the joy on their faces. I am so appreciative of all of my friends and colleagues - you make each day so much more fun!
Holidays can be so hard - divorce and parenting plans that limit time together, family members who are apart today, feeling the loss of those who aren’t sharing the table. I feel that so much. I see you.
We had a pre-Thanksgiving yesterday with my kids and another Thanksgiving today at my aunt and uncle’s house with my cousin and adorable nephews.
We decorated for Christmas yesterday because that was the only day we could do it together. Please don't judge!
So, as hard as holidays can be, holidays are also a beautiful time to appreciate everything we have to celebrate and be thankful for.
All my best to you and yours. Love each other always. And leave no doubt with your loved ones about how much they mean to you.
