Parents, Boomers, Singles, Married, and Children, have shared with me over the weeks that they all love pie and gravy. What they miss are people who aren’t around the table. All agreed tears and laughs will both show up throughout the house.
– Here is how some will celebrate:
– Pictionary game
– Football in the yard
– Everyone in the kitchen chopping and remembering to get the rolls out of the refrigerator
– Music
– Dancing like a fool
– Wine and apple cider
– A treasure hunt
– Saying what they are grateful for this year
– Hopes of tomorrow
– Movies and popcorn
– Photos where you least expect to be seen and on a camera
– Driving with books on tape
– Serving meals at shelters
– Going to the movies
– Shopping Friday
– Long walks bundled up in mittens and scarves
– Making art
– Calling loved ones with a box of Kleenex in hand
Where ever you are and no matter who you are with or without, remember the
sweet times, nurture yourself, be proud of who you are and honor that life
is a mystery held in the arms of YOU MATTER.
Each day is a new that allows you to love the life you have and keep moving forward with the hopes you dream.
Love includes loss and disappointments.
Take good care,
Natalie
