A picture says a thousand words, or maybe one special word - family. It has become a tradition for Adrianne and Jeff to have us over for Thanksgiving dinner. We do the turkey and a few sides...this year we tried a delicious cornbread stuffing with fresh corn and cheddar cheese. Yum! Adrianne makes the most amazing pecan pie - straight from Austin Texas! It was wonderful to have Barbara - Michael and Jeff's mom and Amelia home from school.
Deb & Steve had us over for a lovely post Thanksgiving bouillabaisse with new friends to meet and old ones to visit with. The food was delectable and great to see Allie and Brian...thank you Deb.
You know when life forces you to think about the moment your in, each becomes so much more precious. It is hard to go through something like cancer and not be affected in a way that makes you grateful, thankful...I am sure it may get tiring for others to hear, for me in this year I never tire of the love I am so fortunate to be surrounded by.
With so many unexpected things happening - losses in the economy with jobs, savings and homes I think about what shapes us. If we can all remember it is not money, the size of our homes - it is our character, the love and hope demonstrated in times of trial that our friends and family will remember. To all who are facing loss, hold on for the shape of a new you to come from whatever you may go through.
Happy Thanksgiving to the world....
Jen
