Time For Loved Ones

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday which should be celebrated often through the year!  Mike made his holiday visit a few weeks early this year, spending time with his family.  A drive to Pennsylvania made it possible to reconnect with his Dad's sister, Anna Mae, and the rest of that side of the family.  The picture below shows that reunion with Michael in full-pontificating mode!

We all look forward to the week ahead.  A few days less work. A reason to gather, cook and share great food, and pause.  Pause to give thanks.

Someone the other day said a phrase which I am still thinking about.  "The tyranny of living in the United States," and he went on to note we don't spend our days worrying about getting bombed by our neighbors, we don't worry about famine and disease.  We suffer from the tyranny of many wonderful things to have and to do and never enough time to do them!

This year, take stock in these real facts.  Make sure you have your priorities in the right order.  Remember, each day YOU make your life what it is; yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  Things and people will make an impact, no doubt.  But it is up to you to weave these things into the fabric that drapes your very being. 

We live in an amazing time.  A phone can direct you to an address.  How cool is that?!  A link can answer any question you might have about any thing.  Take just five minutes, sit, and be with all these blessings.  It's an amazing life!
