~:[CH14 - Day 331]:~ Without the Trimmings
Some years, we have Thanksgivings with all the trimmings. Tonight, we kept it simple and had just the basics. I spent the day at home cleaning, prepping and packing. Thanksgiving is often the day of finishing up the banquet program and converting footage foe the banquet. Today, was no different. I caught up on what I needed to and left my computer running, hoping that it would do what it needed to do. I hope it does. Regardless, as I said yesterday, the time we have together is precious. We ate dinner together and that's all that mattered. I later had food at the airport that had a little more than what I had at home, but a meal surrounded by family and friends hits different. I always make sure I leave after dinner so I can spend it with my family and I am always happy that I chose to, no matter the meal that is served. I am grateful that our table even has food to begin with as I know this year, more than ever, has been quite the struggle for many. Knowing this, I appreciate every time I am able to have enough food on the table. Let's hope that everyone can find this comfort in life and for those who cannot, I hope that to them, someone helps provide what is needed. More than ever, I hope we can see the privileges, even if we have our own struggle and help someone less fortunate. That is truly giving the thanks that this holiday is all about. Thank you again for all the efforts you all have made to help those around you and I hope that I can do the same for everyone else, as I want to truly show my thanks to everyone for helping to get to where I am today!
