I was totally unprepared for Thanksgiving this year. I had just come off of a 3 week photoshoot, and then left town immediately for Florida. It was all planes, hotels, eating out… blah, blah, blah.
Usually I go to my cousin’s house. She is one of my best friends and in a way she reconnects me to my mother. She is funny and kind. This year I was sick, I didn’t want to make her sick, so I couldn’t go there.
So my brother (thank god for my brother) invited us to his house. I slept most of the day, then went to his house… it’s not far to get there. We brought broccoli salad and vodka. Nice combo.
My brother has 3 children who I believe, are perfection. His house was full and warm. It was perfect. While I missed my family at my cousin’s house, it was quiet at my brothers. We only stayed a couple of hours.
I often think of my age, and what where I am in life. I like this age, alot. I don’t care if I am middle aged, I like it here. I realize now what I am thankful for…
Here’s a short list:
Here’s to
sleeping late
having an empty seat next to you on the plane
finding money in a coat pocket
your plane landing early
oreo’s with double stuff
stretch jeans
really great cowboy boots
long, warm hugs
being able to sleep
getting someone the perfect gift
books
the ocean
laughing really hard
warm shoes
big smiles
alka seltzer (it’ll cure what ailes you)
being able to fix your own computer
being alive, loving and being loved.
