warm wishes

Don't just count your blessings. 

Feel them, appreciate them and remember that you could lose them in a heartbeat. 

Thanksgiving is a beautiful holiday, I think of it as the opener of the holiday season line up. Cooking with my cousins and eating with my family essentially recreates those Saturdays that made up some of my most treasured childhood memories.  I used to have holiday like Saturdays where my family would gather, eat and enjoy each others company. Thanksgiving wasn't really celebrated at the time, but every Saturday was a form of thanksgiving for me. I remember consistently having moments where I would look up into the sky and just FEEL blessed. Now that times have changed and we're all a bit older, our Saturdays are no longer dedicated to getting together and Thanksgiving is larger than life, this holiday is the one that binds. I am so excited to be with my extended family, thrilled to have so much MORE to be thankful for this year, and I am ready to take it all in. 

One thing I'm keeping in mind is 

that there are 364 other days this year that one could sit and reflect on blessings in life. 

Thanksgiving is highlighted, however it's important to always appreciate what you're given. 

Warm wishes to all the world,
