today started off grumpy-ish. still no laptop. hadn’t finalized thanksgiving plans at one day before the event. my son woke up with the croup. i woke up with a bad headache & congestion. ughh.

but you know what? tomorrow is thanksgiving. a day to be thankful. and here i am…stressing. over the details, circumstances. every day is a day to be thankful but this one day is specifically a reminder to celebrate the good things and that life is about more than just me.

lately i’ve had a strong desire to try and teach my little boy that holidays are more than just a time to eat yummy food and give presents. that they hold special meaning and significance. and that life is to be celebrated and treasured and reveled in.
