I love that in this season of darkness, so many of us celebrate with light in one way or another. What is your favorite way to bring light into these dark nights?

I love that we got to host my family for a two day Thanksgiving Celebration. Wow - what fun & what calories! Feeling blessed in so many ways!!

A Year of Love

Happy Thanksgiving - Well, here we are on that day when many of us in the United States gather with others, eat a ton of food and celebrate the blessings in our lives. I am grateful for the endless ways that life is good to me. I feel so fortunate to have most of what I ever wanted in life. I have a wonderful partner of 23+ years, time with my family, a job I love and creative outlets. I have a home in a neighborhood I once could only dream of living in. I have a sweet dog that has managed to live for 17 years and two crazy cats that provide endless entertainment and delight. I have a life full of music. I love itunes, pandora and my electronic devices for listening and I love the Showtime Singers and the opportunity to sing for others with an amazing group. I love and know that I am extremely blessed with health. I love that there are amazing children in my life who make me so happy and help keep my playful spirit alive. I love that I have an abundance of optimism, gratitude, curiosity and enthusiasm for life. I love that my sense of humor gets me through most of life's challenges. In addition,  I love that I have an amazing therapist who helps to get me through the rest. I have amazing friends that make life so much sweeter and celebratory. I love the role they play in my life. So - hey - got to get back to cooking and getting ready for the big feast. I could go on and on with the blessings. The main thing is, I'm so glad I'm here, so glad I was given the gift of life in this place and time. Feel free to leave a comment of what you are most grateful for. Happy Thanksgiving to all!! 

A Year of Love

I love that even though Wegman's was super crazy this morning, most people seemed to expect that and were in festive moods. I love that we had a smooth day of cooking and getting ready for family tomorrow. Feeling very grateful for an extra day off to prepare. I love when new recipes work out. I know it is always a risk to try new things but hey, to me, that is the fun and excitment of entertaining. I love having great music to cook to. 

A Year of Love

I love the thought of going to Wegman's tomorrow morning (early) to get our groceries and then cooking the rest of the day.
