It was everything it should have been and everything I needed . . . hugs, laughs, conversations, helpfulness and thankfulness and of course the traditional good food. The day we celebrated didn't matter, it was all about being with family. I'll still be celebrating with a much smaller gathering on Thursday. I like Peterson's words on "thanksliving." Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could keep this spirit every day? Happy Thanksgiving to you, Carol!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10779935742253650385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-15552564781400285102016-11-21T07:07:39.022-08:002016-11-21T07:07:39.022-08:00I cannot think of better way to enter thanksgiving...I cannot think of better way to enter thanksgiving week than this post.

Sometimes I wish the calendar were different and that Thanksgiving didn't come so close to Christmas so people wouldn't leap ahead and start decorating for the next holiday when the current one is so important. Giving thanks for all we have, both on Thanksgiving and every other day, is the key to happiness, but Thanksgiving is the reminder for all of us to really look at our blessings and count each and every one. I will echo what Dotti said: I am grateful for everyone here and not just on Thanksgiving! I hope those of you who celebrate have a wonderful, warm and family-filled holiday. Hugs to all!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-86931019550317164632016-11-21T05:38:30.793-08:002016-11-21T05:38:30.793-08:00I love that word - thanksliving.

But we get busy and forget, don't we? Or we're just too tired. Or too lazy.<br /><br />What a wonderful post to lead us into Thanksgiving week here in the US. Those in other countries - join us in spirit. Everybody can "play". Among the many things I'm grateful for are the other eight people who keep this blog humming, this little corner of the net. I do hope - and I think we do - we provide a safe and happy place here for everybody because I love our readers, I'm grateful for each one of you. And you make FOL what it is by coming to visit and sharing your love with us.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving - everywhere!Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-91952776261916268212016-11-21T04:02:17.716-08:002016-11-21T04:02:17.716-08:00I shy away from malls and Black Friday, lol...I shy away from malls and Black Friday, lol...chasing the sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004214313277259050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-79203466120484042352016-11-21T04:01:42.077-08:002016-11-21T04:01:42.077-08:00I love Thanksgiving, the time with my family...I l...I love Thanksgiving, the time with my family...I love the Winter holidays...I make my Christmas gifts..I usually spend part of the spring and the whole summer making my afghans , ornaments, baby toys, scarves, and shawls that I plan give to my loved ones ...I find crafting (knitting and crocheting) fun and relaxing :-)chasing the sunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004214313277259050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-40610054901615220532016-11-21T03:52:40.122-08:002016-11-21T03:52:40.122-08:00Happy Thanksgiving to you dear FOL women who creat...Happy Thanksgiving to you dear FOL women who create a place that encourages gratitude and noticing the beauty around us and celebrating the exquisite details of this journey.
