THANKSGIVING
A time of year dedicated to intentional thankfulness. At times this feels like an absolute crock... why do people wait to be thankful until this season is upon us? Wouldn't it be healthier, on all fronts, if we were thankful every single day? Just a thought.
Anywho... Thanksgiving Day was simple. We purchased the meal from Sprout's (next year we'll try Lucille's) and my parents hosted us at their house. I made apple crisp for dessert to round out the festive meal.
We went around the table, each sharing something we were thankful for. Sawyer started... and then also finished because he wanted a redo. Bless his heart. Then... wii. The boys and Jake played some Nintendo wii. A favorite past time that gets little attention since our family entered a season of "tech fasting".
Personally, this time of year is hard. I have to actively and intentionally WORK to remain thankful. This is our second Thanksgiving since Dempsey's diagnosis and it is still such a stress to overcome.
DECEMBER
December holds my birthday (12/2), two co-op days (12/1 & 12/8), a visit with Gram, an infusion day (12/12), a Christmas performance at the The Warehouse OC (12/9 & 12/10), and Christmas.
Such a busy time of year. Such a wonderful, holy time of year.
