For me who tries to be in gratitude as often as possible, Thanksgiving is Manna from heaven as we get a chance to sound out whats in our hearts. The best part was that we were blessed to have 2 events, one with family and another with extended family. Watching my wife in awe as she transformed our place into a place full of thankfulness for our little one, and the ones who are in love with him. The entire day was spent watching Zyan fully enjoy all those are just cannot get enough of him (neither can I).
Looking back, the day went by way too fast, and I wish I could have slowed down more to take it in more, but here I am and this works too. I get to visualize the smiles, laughter, the sheer amount of food, and the general feel good buzziness (my word) of being around people you deeply care for. I do wish I was more of a help to my wife, but my creativity unfortunately ends at writing, but I do resolve to do better.
Its hard to believe that we are in the last month of December of 2024, and 2025 awaits us. Its no wonder we have such a great holiday near the end of the year to truly appreciate all that we have rather than what we don’t. Sure, there were lessons, and opportunities to be better, but on this one day we also got to truly revel in the greatness that is our life.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving all.
