Thanksgiving

Well, this year we are in Winslow, ME for Thanksgiving. It has been literally years since we've been here. There is so much history for Mark and I and the kids. Mark and I met, dated, were married and started a family here but what makes a family? Is it geographical location? No. Is it the house you live in? No. The memories of both location and homes are part of those things of the past, but it isn't the places. It's the people in it. We have a fantastic family. I have been married to the same wonderful man for 20 yrs and we have 2 awesome kids. I love our life and am completely contented with the fact we aren't perfect but we love each other! I am thankful for the blessings of family. Prior to last year, I had cooked Thanksgiving dinner for my parents, my sister's family and my family. Last year Mom did and this year, Mark, Jeff (his brother) and Francine (my mother in law) will be cooking for us. It really doesn't matter to me as much as the time we spend together. I love spending time with my kids and extended family. I hope for you that you don't get so caught up in the rituals of Thanksgiving that you forget to just stop and spend time together and be thankful for one another!! We are blessed and I wish the same blessing for you!! Happy Thanksgiving!
