Thanksgiving is just around the corner!
I have learned over the last few years that the holidays are not permission to eat all that you want and then some! The most important thing about the holidays is the company that you surround yourself with! The most important things are the faces around your table and what they mean to you and making the most of your time with them! You never know if that will be the last chance you get to see them!
I come from a BIG family! I love being around people! I enjoy the times I get to be with my family. I hate not being with them EVERY holiday, but treasure Christmas time when I get to be with them every year! I have some to realize that not everyone is that lucky to always be able to be with family! It is not too late to see if your co-workers, people that you attend church with or your neighbors have somewhere to go for Thanksgiving or Christmas. We are so excited this year to be having 2 families from our church join us for Thanksgiving! We are looking forward to a house full of laughter and yummy food!
If you can't think of neighbors, church people or co-workers, contact a local college and see if they have students that need somewhere to go for Thanksgiving dinner! I know (with having a college student) they would enjoy having a home cooked meal!
We need to get back to reaching out to the people around us and including them in our plans! You may never know what that will mean to people!
I am hoping over the next few days to post some of our favorite, healthy recipes for the holiday dinners coming up! I hope you will give them a try! You don't have to tell people they are healthy!!! I just make them and not tell my kids!! LOL!!
I hope that everyone has a most joyful holiday season and remember it's not about the stuff you get...but making the most of what you get to GIVE!!!
Keep on keeping on!!!!
