Thanksgiving

I am home for Thanksgiving and always love this time of year. The drive up was great because I got to see the changing of the leaves and all the color that it displays up through the State of Kentucky. The weather is great and it is a typical fall day here. The sun is out and there is a cool breeze blowing. Mom is cooking in the kitchen and probably wondering why I am not helping her. My nephews and neice are here and there is a lot of conversation going on. Tomorrow is the big day where we are going to eat a lot of food and have multilple conversations going on at one time. My favorite part of my family is the conversation. To some people it would be annoying, but being sisters we can have 4 conversations going on at once and we can pick up in the middle of another conversation and then back to the other conversation without missing a beat. We share a connection that no one would understand unless they had their own.

I am very thankful for my family. My three sisters are my best friends and I love them dearly. They each married 3 men who love them for who they are. My parents are so funny and listening to them cracks me up. Family is something to appreciate and love and not to take for granted. They stand by you and support you no matter what. Living far away I try to not take them for granted. You never know when the last time you are going to see someone will be. Take the time to spend special time with your family this holiday and be thankful for them. Tell them you love them, and thank them for what they mean to you.
