Thanksgiving

So here we are at another years end...first Thanksgiving, then Christmas and finally 2012. Wow did it go fast.

I went to Henri's today and the parking lot was crazy, lots and lots of shoppers for there Thanksgiving feast. The mad holiday rush has began.

I like to think of Thanksgiving as the time of year to reflect and enjoy the company of friends and family. I don't really get onto the whole "lots of food" type thing. A nice meal with friends is more than enough. I find myself thinking a whole lot about the word "gratitude" during this time of year. And it is with that thought that I would like to say I am grateful to everyone for all they do for me, for others and the world. I know I don't tell my Friends and family enough but I am now, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

In the rush of the holidays we may find ourselves overwhelmed with what society says the holidays to be. I try to ignore the glamour, advertising and the all out craziness of what was once a very honorable time of year. I live in the pay it forward mindset and I  know all those in my life do exactly the same. It feels good doesn't it? We all get what we give.  Life is just an endless circle.


May you all have a peaceful and restful holiday.
With much love
Jennifer

OK, so I admit I when I started this blog I was going to write in it at least once a week....
Well I have been in a "funk" for the last 3 to 4 weeks, so writing seemed to be a low priority to me. Besides, who wants to read about depressing whines and moans from someone? When the idea came to me to write a blog, it was to bring the positive meanings and thoughts to my friends and family members. It has just not been possible these pass few weeks.

However...things have changed and I had this thought...... the word "funk" can can two totally different meanings: the first meaning is to be depressed and the second can mean music with a funky beat. So over the last week I have turned my "funk" into music.
The music? It's the words and messages I play inside my head.

Life is wonderful
I am grateful
I have so much and need so little
I have the best bad little dogs around
and mostly I have the best most supportive friends and family anyone could hope for.

Thank you all for turning my "funk' into the funky again.
