One more day...did you know that the calories don't count on Thanksgiving? Well, maybe they DO count, but I'm not going to keep a running tally...might be scary. I've been cooking a bit today (like most of you) and the house smells glorious. I was thinking about how much I love the Thanksgiving holiday and yet how sad it makes me at the same time. Most years it's the 3 of us with a ridiculous amount of food that we could never finish. I miss my family...truly, deeply miss them. I have visions of a big dinner around a table filled with laughter...and while we do a pretty good job with our little family, it's not quite the same. Don't get me wrong...I'm so very thankful to have my son and husband to share this with...I am an extremely lucky person. Yet at the same time it saddens me that we won't be joining the NY, FL, OK, or CA families. I'm so fortunate to be a part of a family that I actually want to spend the holidays with. I hope they all know just how much they are loved and missed, not just during the holidays, but every day.
