TM - Question of the Week - Thankfulness and What's on your Thanksgiving menu?

[Guest guest]

Beautiful response TM. It warmed my heart to hear of the heritage your family

has of that unconditionaly love and specialness of each one.

 

The words on that card are rich with meaning. Thanks for sharing it.

 

I hope you have a special day too, celebrating in any way that warms your heart

and make you happy.

 

Hugs,

Judy

Re: Question of the Week - Thankfulness and What's

on your Thanksgiving menu?

 

 

Great question, Judy!? I have so much to be thankful for I don't even know

where to begin, but I'll try...

 

First off, I'm beyond grateful for my wonderful parents who afforded me an

idyllic childhood.? While we certainly weren't rich in material things, I had

the most important thing of all...the gift of unconditional love.??I, in turn

have given this gift to my two beautiful daughters and I?hope that?they will

pass it on to their offspring.?

 

In these tough times I'm grateful that I have a secure job, and that at ripe

old age of 65 I feel 25, and am physically well enough to go to that job every

day.? Some are not so fortunate.? Again, while I may not be rich in material

things, I have everything I need and then some....freedom to live my life as I

see fit, peace of mind, contentment.? A friend sent me a card once that I

treasure.? It reads... " to know when you have enough, is to be rich beyond

measure. " ? So very, very, true.

 

? While I live alone with only a cat for company, I'm never lonely or bored

and have a lot of solo activities to fill up my days..there are never enough

hours to pursue them all and I've so often wished that I could do more than one

thing at a time.??As you age, you begin thinking about running out of time and

there's still so much left that you want to learn and do.?

 

As for my Thanksgiving menu, that's kind of up in the air.? I think I'll be

alone (have some?invites, but some are too noisy and the rest?are overnighters

and I never leave Jonah (cat in residence) alone overnight.? Since I lost my

other two, he's very needy and on the few occasions that I've left him the

person who has cared for him has told me that he's beside himself when I'm

gone)?so.... I just may go all out and prepare all the trimmings or I may just

do nothing at all...depends on the mood of the day.? The best part is that I can

choose how to spend it!? My wish for all of you is that your day is everything

you want it to be!
