Happy Thanksgiving

Rockwell Thanksgiving

Unlike quite  a few other holidays, Thanksgiving is unique - no gifts.  The whole concept of the holiday is about remembering who and what you are thankful for.  Pretty ironic when you consider the American origin is Pilgrims and Indians sharing a meal.  Of course, in some families today the outcome will be very similar - yelling, screaming and some hurt feelings.

Thanksgiving does not have the same level of pressure as other holidays.  It is about family, food and football.  We all eat the Turkey (or tofurkey for my vegan friends) now so we can have great leftover sandwiches later.  By far the most relaxed and guilt free of the holidays - even if you are in charge of meal preparation and clean up.

I am thankful for my husband and our four kids.  I am thankful for the life we are building together.

I am thankful for my co-workers and the good laughs that we share every day.  I am thankful for our clients who trust us with their businesses and let us work with them.

I am thankful for my community, our school, and this country.

But on this day, I am most thankful that my in-laws are such awesome cooks and that we are going to eat their house.  I’ll take clean up over cooking every day.
