Thanksgiving 2018

                        "There is always something to be thankful for  . "

For the past 6--7 years every year I have worked each year on thanksgiving day. My usual routine is to hit the mall after work. I absolutely enjoy the black Friday sales. I enjoy every bit of any kind of shopping experience for that matter . All these years I do not remember eating a proper dinner on thanksgiving day and never with my family . I usually eat my leftover lunch after work and head straight to the mall snacking on cereal bars as and when needed( I stock those always in my purse ).

This year however was a totally different experience . For a change I was not at work today . Neither did I visit the mall nor did I shop online . Sounds so unreal . Yes I was homebound all day and actually enjoyed every bit of my time spent with family . My parents are here visiting us and hence this Thanksgiving was special to begin with . I tried a new recipe, made some of my favorite dishes and helped mom in the kitchen . Me and my husband ate together peacefully without Toddler K nagging us . It was such a joyous and gratitude filled day . A memorable one indeed . Hope your day was also filled with fun, laughter and gratitude . Here is a beautifully worded message sent by a dear friend Ashwini P . to all of us friends .

"Happy Thanksgiving Girls. When you have food on your plate , a roof on your head , clothes to keep you warm , a family who loves you ….. everything else is just a bonus . All of us have so much more …..and that makes us a happy bunch . Thankful for your friendship and thankful for all the time I"ve spent with you all of you lovely and smart women . God bless you all . "

Happy Thanksgiving !
