Well it is indeed the night before Thanksgiving. Unlike Christmas or a birthday it doesn't have the wonder and excitement that those days hold. However, I look forward this year to enjoying the company of friends, as our family is off doing other things. My brothers and their families live in California, along with numerous cousins and the few remaining aunt and uncles on my dad sides. My favorite aunt is off in Hawaii, I wish that the funds were available, I would be on a plane last week to be there and share the holiday. Once my daughter finishes school, I will be taking far more trips to visit family.
I keep seeing where people are posting that they have set their tables and are ready for the big day tomorrow.
I'm still unpacking boxes to locate my china. Haha. I don't have enough storage space. arg I found a lovely little pillow someone posted on their blog. choose joy
It says Choose JOY! Love it! It can be so hard sometimes to concentrate on the things that irritate us, like kids who don't call home, or places I would like to be at or do. But rather than focus on that, choosing Joy to focus on, what makes you happy, even if you don't have those things.
I'm hoping that my daughter enjoys her turkey sandwich at school tomorrow. London doesn't have Thanksgiving. On the other hand she has the joy of going to school in England, following her own dreams.
I'm hoping that all my other family enjoy their day, what ever they may be doing. Although family can be a nuisance sometimes, its nice to know you have some. I always kind of wished I lived in a giant clan inside a castle. That's until you get there, and think what was I thinking.
