Giving Thanks

As we sat down to dinner, Deb asked, “Who will say the prayer?”

It was a traditional Thanksgiving gathering, my first as part of this family, with all the usual activities. On Wednesday we shopped for food, played board games, and went to a movie.

Thursday there was the cooking, the dinner (with all the fixings), cleanup, more games, videos, discussion and laughter.

Friday we went shopping for Christmas presents (taking advantage of the sales at the local mall), ate leftovers, and saw Planet 51.

Saturday, the family began returning to their homes, with the first car leaving in the mid morning for the drive to California.

Today we drove the college student back up to Northern Arizona University. We ate lunch at the Student Union while the morning’s snow melted, then drove back to Phoenix.

Through it all I held the focus in the heart, simply being mindful of everyone and everything, and aligning all with the one life.

Happy Holidays!
