Okay, I’m a day late for Thanksgiving. My brother brought home five international students which is always interesting (and hectic). My favorite part is when we actually eat dinner and they eat foods they have never encountered before. This year, a guy from South Africa tried cranberry sauce for the first time and he liked it! This is good because I LOVE cranberry sauce.
Anyways, I didn’t start a blog to ramble about cranberry sauce. I started a blog to talk about Thanksgiving.
I have so many things to be thankful for. Of course, I am thankful for my family and friends. This includes my biological family, and the friends I have all over the world that I may never meet but I know they care about me as much as I care about them. I’m thankful for Sheriff, who lays curled by my chair as I write. I am thankful for you guys, the people who read my blog. Without you, it wouldn’t exist. I am thankful that I can receive mental health care because there are so many severely mentally ill people who get no help at all. I am thankful that I live in a beautiful home and am not homeless. I am thankful for the many opportunities that I have been given, especially over the last year. Some big projects are in the works and I am so excited about that. And since I mentioned them, I am thankful for these projects that constantly remind me that I am more than I give myself credit for being. I am very blessed right now and that feels amazing. A year ago, I wouldn’t have believed that so much good could come from such a terrible mental illness.
Because we are now past Thanksgiving, I am really feeling the oncoming holiday season. My mom has already put up three Christmas trees in her house! Soon, wreaths will appear on doors and windows. I need to get a Christmas tree for myself since last year’s is spider infested. Slowly, Christmas lights adorn homes and businesses. The Christmas parade is next week, I think. The famed “Kier and Rosemary’s” Christmas party is next weekend! I have two Mexican Danishes to make; one for the party and one for my family. I am also really looking forwards to the Service Dog Central card exchange/Secret Santa/Santa Paws events. I love getting Christmas cards in the mail from all my friends…and sometimes from friends in different countries! I very proudly display them in my home. Oh, and now that it is close to Christmas, I can sing all the Christmas songs I want without driving everyone else nuts because those songs are usually stuck in my head in the middle of the summer!
Well, forgive me for having a short post today. I find myself growing tired and I don’t want to ramble on and on. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
