We fit it all in! It was great! And up on time for work!
Spending time with family is invigorating. There's a new engagement; we are down one dog down and up three; the baby is going to be a boy; there's a gig in Modesto benefiting Toys For Tots; lost jobs and found opportunities; a big move in the works to the Midwest, and another plan to travel abroad.
Holiday face time is a great tonic for what ails ya, that's what I was thinking as we logged six hundred miles on the truck with the dog in our lap (some of the time). So glad we scheduled the 'free' time!
We left the phone in the car this year and only brought food and some undivided attention. We used it on Pop B who wasn't feeling well, and sis in laws I dearly love and four brothers who talk at once and love to reminisce. We walked the beach with the dogs and surveyed a room full of sons and their uncle, and sat around later with feet hot near the fire listening to the banter of life and change and gratefulness. To be a part of this big blended family, that's what did it for me.
Leftovers aside, I am full of thanksgiving.
