My Favorite Day of the Year
Today. Thanksgiving. It is my favorite day of the year! I cannot explain how much I truly enjoy today for everything that it is and for what it signifies. I am not sure when I developed a love of Thanksgiving, but I do believe it stems from the planning and prep that I saw Mom and Granny put into the days leading up to the big feast. We were not a big family in Texas because my parents and older brothers were from Ohio, but it was the connection and the excitement I had of the food being prepared. When I was old enough, I was tasked with making the…

What I am Thankful For
I had planned to blog daily this month, sharing with you what I am most thankful for. As you can see, I was an epic failure in that regard, seeing as though I have only posted a couple threads and here we are, two days away from Thanksgiving. Yes! Two days! Oh my, how I love this time of year. More specifically, this month, this week and the day of the turkey. The day that I eat one slice of turkey because it is one tradition I cannot seem to break away from. Traditions. They are good to cherish and to hold on to. Some are worth tossing, while others…

Happy “Best Day of the Year”!
This is my most favorite day of the year and I am so happy to be celebrating it with family and friends. This is one day that people slow down to enjoy each other, and to reconnect. It is the day that no one is worried about social standings and gifts, and they come together to enjoy each others company over a table of food and desserts. It is a time when people of all backgrounds make time for those that are important to them, and they catch up on lost time. Regardless of how busy we get through the year with work, sports, kids and whatnot, this is the…

Do You Have a Favorite Holiday?
It is no secret that my favorite day of the year happens to be a holiday, and it falls during my favorite month, November. I have always loved Thanksgiving, even as a child. It holds sweet memories for me and I cherish those, even decades later. It is the one day when people slow down and enjoy the company of others. It does not matter if it is friends, strangers or family. This is a day when people realize what they have to be thankful for and are generous with their time, in helping others and sharing love. It is a time when people are not in stores spending money,…

Thanksgiving 2017
Here we are again, my favorite day of the year. This year has been one of many changes, upsets and new beginnings, all of which were needed. And, that makes this holiday season different than any other. Over the years I have realized there are a lot of reasons to be thankful, and to cherish those you hold close, and also to appreciate where you have been, who you are and the future for what it may hold. Today I am thankful for my family of friends who have stayed true to me, and reminded me that life is beautiful, even when it is dark. I am also thankful for…

Traditions
With the holiday’s approaching, it has me thinking about traditions, and memories of years past spent with family and friends. Traditions sometimes take on a generation of repeats, while others only last for a brief moment. My family was not big on traditions, but we always made time for each other. There was not a day that went by that I did not know I was loved, and for that I am thankful. Thanksgiving for us changed over the years, but it was always a special day to enjoy. Whether it was Mom and Granny cooking, while my oldest two brothers kept me and my twin out of the kitchen,…

Many Reasons to be Thankful
I get so busy in the everyday things, that sometimes I forget to stop and show my thanks. Today is my favorite day of the year for many reasons. First, and foremost, it’s the one day that we slow down and enjoy the company of friends and family. It’s the day we reconnect with those we’ve lost touch with, and it’s the day that no one is in a hurry. I’m thankful for the chance to have this day, and to spend it with friends who have become our family. I’m also thankful for you guys. When I started my site in 2006, it was just a “hobby”. I had…
