Today is Thanksgiving for those of us who live in the US. It’s a time of year that families typically come together and create a large feast. Turkey is usually involved, but not always. This year, since it’s just Hubby and I we’ve decided to skip the turkey and get a couple Cornish Game Hens instead. We’re not going to do the usual fair of a million side dishes and at least three different dessert options like we normally do either. We’ll probably do the birds, one or two sides, and some rolls. Nothing too fancy but something that’s at least reminiscent of the traditional holiday meals we both grew up with. But without a month worth of leftovers.

To me, this holiday is about family and friends. It’s about being thankful for those in our lives and the time we had with those who are no longer with us. It’s about being thankful for the people, not the things, we have.
Celebrate the important things. I know I will.
