HAPPY THANKSGIVING! So I read that Thanksgiving started in 1621,
the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast
that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the
colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by
individual colonies and states. Interestingly, feast between the Pilgrims and
the Wampanoag at Plymouth Colony contained waterfowl, venison, fish, lobster,
clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin, and squash. Today, it’s all about the bird,
pumpkin pie, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes and other yummy dishes!!! I
love Thanksgiving.
So my kids and I were reflecting on Thanksgiving's history and how another year has almost gone by. Time does
go by fast for sure. I feel we always have to be thankful everyday of our lives
and for me it’s become a lifestyle and I hope it becomes that for you too.
Every year we usually celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. My
sister usually host Thanksgiving every year and is a really good host. So it’s
usually us, my brother and my sister and her family and we spend all afternoon from
lunch to dinner just hanging out, chatting, eating and catching up.
I hope we all can take every day, but especially today to reflect,
rejuvenate and revisit all the things that we are thankful for. I am especially
thankful for my kids and my family, all the wonderful food we get to eat, the
laughter’s, smiles and just seeing everyone’s face lit up and just being
together. It truly brings such joy to my heart and I secretly say “Thank you God
more of this please”….
I am also very thankful for all that I have been through this
year. Some experiences have just been over the top, but I know it was what I
needed. I am thankful for all the times I have been guided in mysterious ways
and do not feel that anything is ever wasted. I am truly blessed.
I am additionally thankful for the job I have, my home and my
friends. It is truly great that I am part of all this and we are all part of
this wonderful world. I hope this Thanksgiving and the many more yet to come,
we take a moment to just enjoy every single minute of this day and just be in
the moment.Wish you love!
Peace,
Monita
