Ben and I are spending the day relaxing. His mother drove her RV up from Southern California to spend the holiday with us.  We’re making a turkey breast, asparagus, mashed potatoes and cornbread stuffing. A small and relaxing holiday. This is the time of year that it’s hard to be so far away from family … especially the family we’ve lost this year.

I wrote an essay in college about fond memories from our youth and I wrote about Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with my extended family many of whom are no longer alive or I have not seen for years upon years now.

Ben and I are counting our blessings this year. We are thankful that we both have jobs that we enjoy, and are in a good home with our two cats – Westley and Elwood and our dog Cleo. We are thankful for our health and good friends and family.

Hopefully this holiday season finds you and your family well.
