HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I just baked the pumpkin pies, and my turkey is in the oven.... The Macy's parade is about to start, which I LOVE to watch on Thanksgiving morning!!   I'll be cooking all morning as I watch the parade and anxiously await family to start arriving.....  Today will be filled with laughter, love, lots of good food, football and many moments of thanks for what the Good Lord has blessed our family with this year!!  


I don't know about you guys, but it's so easy for me to look around at other people who have "more" than I do and compare my situation to their's and wish I had what they have.  Sometimes it just seems like EVERYONE has a nicer house than I do.  Or more money to take better vacations.  Or cooler cars, more songs cut, and nicer clothes.  The truth is, there are WAY more people who have less than I do.   If I'm going to play the "compare" game, why don't I pick them to compare myself to and realize that I'm blessed beyond measure.   Not just on Thanksgiving, but every single day.   That's what I want.  I want to be this grateful and thankful every day of the year.....   Most people make "New Year's Resolutions"... but I'm going to make a "Thanksgiving Resolution".    I'm going to try and remember to feel this blessed everyday of the year... and make more time in my life to reach out to others who are less fortunate than I am.  


Thank you to ALL of you who have made a difference in my life this year.  My family.  My friends.  You know who you are......  You are special to me, Mike and the kids.  Thanks for all the support you give us, personally and professionally.  It truly is an honor to walk through this world with you by our side.  And ON our side. 


Much love and thanks..... Marcia
