During nice weather I like to go outside and just "be". I find myself looking up a lot or just soaking up the sun, staring at leaves or being completely taken by a tree in the distance and it's shaking leaves. Sometimes I actually think the leaves sparkle in the sun..... I can be easily amused and filled with love. For years I've loved long walks, with company or in solitude and can find true peace where I am always content with my thoughts...
It is important to be able to take yourself out of a stressful moment in time and just appreciate the life that surrounds you to get yourself back to a place of peace.
I've had to recently struggled to put myself back in that place....
This Thanksgiving my oldest son has decided to spend it with his dad. It is the very first Thanksgiving he will not be feasting and giving thanks with me. I'm feeling a little down that I won't be spending time with him tomorrow but am happy he is excited about his time with his father.... Well, things do change.
Every year it's either my mom or I cooking the Thanksgiving feast. We usually go all out with an abundant amount of food and dessert but we have decided, kind of last minute, to refrain from cooking.
My grandma on my mom's side of the family is not well and is taking a more concerning turn. My grandma is in a hospital rehabilitation center due to the fact that she needs round the clock medical care. She is very frail and is always hooked to a breathing machine which breaks my heart. It's all so heartbreaking. Everyone does whatever they can to try to make her as happy as possible but it doesn't always work. Tomorrow on Thanksgiving I will be going with my mom to bring her pie & spend time with her. ♥
Well, we may not be having a turkey this year but we have each other and that is TRULY all that matters.......... Even though things change.
~Stay Positive~
Peace & Love
