TURKEY TROT?

GOOD TIME TO BE A PIG!

BAD DAY TO BE

GROCERY SHOPPER

Yep that's my take on things!

And

it's a great time

to

get your

"grateful on"

oh so much to give

THANKS for

today

on the

"eve"

of

Thanks(in)Giving

as

the roads and skies

are the busiest day of the year

and

oh those poor folks who are hitting the grocery stores today

I do not envy not one bit,

and

I am oh so thankful to be sitting here

in my home

with coffee in hand

and little 4-leggeds in lap

knowing

that today

I do not have to go

OUT!

Today

I give thanks for

the

Ancestors, my family, my beloved friends

and

family of choice

and

all that has been

to be where it is

and

all

that is yet to be.

I am grateful

I am  blessed.

I am happy to

NOT be a turkey

also.

AND

did I mention... I am so delighted to not be

fighting over a bird in the cold section of the food stores today

and

the green beans and the stuffing and the yams and the

seasons greetings

and

the

"let's see" whatever else folks will be fighting over

perhaps it will be

the buggy

or

the next available cashier?

Folks will gather all over the place; Disney will be croweded; dinners will be held, and quiet moments will be spent in reflection as well!

Today

I know that

Godson

D'Vante is being taken by ole' COB

to have his

"wisdom?" teeth extracted

and

then she will settle in as his "nurse"

OHHH my

I wonder if that indicates that he will then

develop "wisdom" as a senior of high school?

heehe

Or

if he will just lay back for Thanksgiving and

"gobble/slurp"

more mashed potatoes than usual

now that he is being nursed

by

COB

and coddled and loved so tenderly

without

"wisdom" teeth?

><

I have heard that

folks are taking their

best big ole platters out of the cabinets

and

getting ready to get their

annual "feed on"

tomorrow

the

TV is being set to

"all day football heaven"

and

the kitchens are being set up for all the

sensory overloads of smells de jour

to delight the senses

across our lands!

Little and big 4 leggeds are taking up residence in the kitchen

hoping and many are probably offering up

prayers that wonderful things drop to the floor

just for them

to have a "THANKS-falling treat"

along the way!

SOME... will get caught in that "Hallmark picture" with the goods... a big ole Turkey leg and a mouthful!

While many will sit and watch it all from a restaurant

and

wonder about those they are seeing from a distance

still others

will settle in alone in their home

and

remember

or

eat

STEAK!

The holiday season

is now officially upon us

with

the eve of Thanksgiving.

We see it in the ads on TV

but

mostly we

"feel it in our hearts"

as

we embrace the heart space of

"thank full ness"

and

it is in remembering those we have and do love

that

we are most thankful and blessed

in our lives.

So many will enter this Thanksgiving

"missing" those who are no longer here

and

looking for memories to sustain

and

to provide

HOPE in Healing Ways

and

I hope that you will find ways to bring those memories into the now

and allow them to be a part of your

Thanksgiving.

><

Being gentle with you, with those that love you and that you love, while embracing all that is right here and right now.

...

Others will have a blast tomorrow,

will be sure and know where the

BLACK FRIDAY SALES ARE

and retire to bed early

just so

THEY CAN GET UP AND HIT THOSE STORES

and

SHOP TIL THEY DROP!

I can remember doing that

and

just being absolutely amazed by it all!

I still get a kick out of the thought

but

cannot get past the idea of leaving my bed

to go out to a place and watch or i just don't know enough of how or what to save on!

ONe thing is certain,
this is the eve
of
Thanksgiving!
It's time to fire up the ovens
to get ready to get your
"gratitude on"
and
to make those phone calls of long distance, short distance
and
to jump online and send those emails of
"thanks"

SPEAKING OF THANK YOU'S

Thank you
to the men, women, service animals
serving our Nation
and
keeping our lands safe.
thank THANK YOU
for your service
to those who have served
those who are serving
and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
We honor you, we respect you,
we
ARE THANKFUL FOR YOU.
We are free because of YOU.
Thank you Mr President for leading our Nation in these difficult and challenging times in a thankless job
where ugliness and judgment are witnessed in every moment.
Thank YOU.
><
OK
ready?
STRETCH ONE TWO THREE
lift your arm, bend elbow to mouth comes hand
repeat...
Practice time for tomorrow
...
NOW
stand and bend at waist
remember waist?
It could all be gone with three helpings of mashed potATOES
two slices of pecan pie
one slice punkin pie
and
repeat of meal in 2 hours!

NOW then
we have that done!
Get your self with gun ready to shoot the bird in the fridg
so you too can say you've done it the old fashioned way!

I'm off to shoot the turkey,
but
it may make an awful noise in the "hood"
but
at least it may get Sandy's attention and she can come over and help me get things done here!

What a plan!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DEAR ONES EVERYWHERE.

Of course
I will probably know that
COB/Mom and Angie/cuzzie
will send me pictures of the
green jello stuff with taunting
"wish you were here" messages
and
will probably go so far as to make a great big ole' spirit plate filled with all my favorites to sit on the table for me and then take a picture as well!
BUT
when I do not eat it,
and
they are ready for seconds there in
Southwest VA
you can believe
THEY WILL EAT OFF MY PLATE
rather than get up from the table to get their own!!!

haha

gotta love it!

Enjoy all
and hope you are feeling wiser D'Vante now that you had those teeth taken out!

I am thankful
Let's get this day goin here friends...

ah yes... also when out in that BLACK FRIDAY MADNESS
remember your postcards
for
cuzzie in Pulaski!

Let's do this thing

and

just
