Thanksgiving Day Reflections
Thanksgiving Day Reflections Every other year at the holidays I share my two daughters and their families with extended family members. I always get invited, but quite frankly some of those family members are "outlaws" not in-laws so I decline. This is one of the years I will be by myself for the holidays and that's okay;I am used to it. I will work this year, then when I get off at 3pm I will prepare my dinner and reflect. (I manage the cash/accounting office of a large retailer that is open that day). I will roast a small turkey the night before and have stuffing, vegetables and cranberry sauce with it. Of course pumpkin pie for dessert!! What's nice about this is that I will enjoy leftovers for a few days like the standard turkey sandwiches for lunch and the rest for dinners. I also make sure I drag out my best china and light my candles and use my best tablecloth and centerpiece.... I love the peacefulness of this time so I can think back long and hard about what I am thankful for and all my many blessings. I live in a city with no family or friends close by. My daughters are within a 2 and 3 hour radius from me. We visit in person about once a month and call/text/e-mail often. It works well for all of us and our schedules...I will look forward to being with family again next year in 2017 for the holidays. God bless you all; my wish is that you have a safe and blessed holiday season! {=} {=} KCClaire0923 |

Glad that we are finally having cooler fall like weather here in southern California. It has been so hot for so long the cool afternoons and nights are so nice and very much welcomed!

Have a nice BirdDay When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I spent many Thanksgivings by myself as I always had to work Black Friday. I loved the serenity and the ability to do as I pleased. Often I stayed in my nightie all day and had wine and read. I did cook a stuffed turkey and made whole berry cranberry sauce. I do not regret not going anywhere. They are happy memories May you enjoy your day!!
