thanks.

i really should be cleaning the house or getting a jump start on my baking. but, no, i'm here. the hubs is out with a close family friend, the kids are content & the dogs are barking {we've got my parents dog, no-no, right now since they're out of town}. i blame my temporary lack of domestic desire on the hubs who, when he left, he handed me a freshly made sailor jerry & coke. ohhh. who cleans while sippin' on some liquor? not me. besides, the hubs DID unload the dishwasher and take out the trash before he left.

anyways...

i hope that each & every one of you has the most wonderful thanksgiving ever. whether you're home, far from home, with family or with friends...please be safe, enjoy the day and worship & love - with all of your ♥ - the people around you. cherish the moments. relish in the memories. listen with your heart. be thankful.

it's been kind of a rough year just due to the extenuating circumstances that surround my immediate family. betrayal. lies. deceit. sadness. death. but, there's also been joy. love. laughter. respect. happiness. it seems like such an odd combo...trust me, it is...but i am thankful nonetheless. i'm especially thankful that this year has enlightened & matured me.

i am forever thankful.

happy thanksgiving to you all...my wonderful friends! i can't wait to get back online on friday to read about your stories of carb overload, leftover turkey creations & black friday scores!
