Wow, I had a GREAT thanksgiving meal. I mean awesome, I had two plates of deliciousness and it went down just fine. LOL!!! Ok, I was messing them plates up. But it was a great day because for the first time in a while my family was together. This was such a miraculous event because we are a family of individuals instead of an actual family. So it is always so refreshing to see everyone together for the most part and this only really happens during the holiday season.
So this is what I was most thankful for. The chance to see familiar faces that were starting to become unrecognizable during the year. And we had it at my grandmother's house for the first time in about five years.
I was so thankful we had it at my grandmothers house. For the last couple of years, we(My mother and I) have done it where ever we have lived. And while it was always successful it just wasn't the same feeling. Usually before we started this new tradition, everything during the holiday season was always held at my grandmother's house. It was always soo powerful for me because it was the one place where all of the family got together, so it was a welcomed return. Hopefully Christmas will turn out the exact same way :) fingers crossed!!!!
What were you most thankful for this year????
I have been thankful (and grateful) to have had the moments I have spent with family this year be all worthwhile. I think everyone goes through their up's and down's but ... its awesome when you have those true times where you know even in the middle of it that it's going to be something you recollect and you pull from the back of your mind to smile about. I love my family, I love my friends, grades are looking up and I am looking forward to another blessed year. I'm so thankful I was gifted with this one. God is good. :) I hope your 2010 is as blessed if not MORE blessed than your 2009.
