THANKFUL

I’m warm and cozy. Snuggling behind the covers in my big bed for one. I can smell the food downstairs. Mom’s released her magic in the kitchen. Thrilled. We’re all thrilled. But the TV’s on and it’s so loud. Ugh sleep don’t go.

“…. Floats and tons of bands making their way through Manhattan for…” Oh. The Macy’s Day parade is on. Of course, it’s tradition. Okay I’m up. The floats and musical acts are my favorite.
“Good morning everyone.”
I miss my bed. BUT. I want to be surrounded. It’s the holidays. Engulfed in family is holiday spirit. Holiday time. Holiday joy. I’m warm and cozy again. I’ve changed locations though. In the kitchen finally. The smell of turkey pulled me in. The smell of fresh stuffing. So good. My heart flutters. I’m anxious to have a bite.

“Can I try some?” She turns her back. I’m spoonful deep.

Can’t stop. Won’t stop. Scratch that.
Can stop. Will stop.

Happy Thanksgiving texts left and right. My friends are my heart. My family, they’re my life.
No more pussyfooting. Grub time, where are you?!
Oh shit.

“IT’S TIME TO EAAAAAAAT.”

Everything’s so damn good. She always throws down. Apple Cider fizzes. Wash down the food. But go back for thirds.
“I’m thankful for the love I have within…”
Wait. Room for pie. That’s a must. Pumpkin or Apple?
Pumpkin.
Fork’s tired and abused. A piece of pie will do a body good. Yum.
Tired. The “-itis” is here. I’m gonna sleep gooood tonight.

Reflection.

I’m so happy about everything. Life is amazing.

I’m thankful. For every friend’s health. For every friend’s love. For every family member’s heart. For every family member. For turkey that’s going to keep me fed for weeks (s/o leftovers). For the heater that keeps me warm on cold nights. For the house that gives me shelter everyday. For the people that support me that I don’t see. For the cable that keeps me entertained. For the favor God shows me often. For the lessons that have momentarily broken me. For the joy that has constantly healed me. For my knowledge. For my safety. For my blessings.

I am so thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving babes, but before I go — tell me, what are you thankful for?

Love + light tribe.
