November 22: Next Couple of Days

The next few days will be filled with all the Thanksgiving traditions and visiting, so I will probably take a break and update later in the week or maybe even on Monday.  For now I have bindings to stitch and moments to contemplate all the reasons I am grateful and feeling so blessed.

I hope that each of you have a special celebration.  Whether it is big or small, remember that as a nation we are so fortunate and so blessed.  The road may be rocky at times, but as far as I can tell we all still have access to it.  Please remember those going through tough times and include them in your prayers.

 Also, say a prayer of thanksgiving that we have men and women who are willing to accept military service and all the sacrifices it brings to them and their families.  I remember just how alone you can feel during the holidays, but I also remember some of the crazy gatherings that happened when we were invited to join in celebration with others. If you have an extra place at your table, invite a vet or someone else that has no one close to share this special day of thanksgiving!  You will be amazed at just how much better the day is when you share with others.

Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to all who will be traveling.  Instead of rushing and getting stressed, enjoy the travel and observe the speed limits.
