The night before Thanksgiving… I’m exhausted, my back aches, my feet are throbbing. We’ve been hosting for decades, and although it’s gotten easier in some ways, in others it’s always as overwhelming as ever. This is the first time hosting in our new home (well we did it last year, but we’d just moved in and it was only four of us, so it kind of didn’t count). That means that a lot of the old ways of doing things just don’t work any more, necessitating a lot more “figuring it out” rather than following the tried and true… creating added stress. That said, I want to acknowledge how very much I have to be thankful for… yes, it’s been a tough year, my mom’s severe decline and subsequent death were a large part of that, as have several health issues. I’m still sitting here waiting for some potentially serious results; my husband has surgery coming up in January. But we love our new home, we’ve made some wonderful friends (some of whom are coming tomorrow!), and we’re both keeping active and busy (modified by the aforementioned health issues, but what can you do). I know that we’re in much better shape than so many others, and I am truly thankful for all that we have and all we enjoy. We try to give back, and will continue to look for new ways in which to do that. But for now, it’s time to put my feet up… still hours of cooking and cleaning and setting up to look forward to tomorrow. But Turkey Day is my favorite holiday, so the aches and pains feel good in a strange way, since they are all for the best cause in the world — friends and family. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!
