Wanted to wish all of you & your families a very Happy Thanksgiving. I am beyond grateful for everyone of you and this amazing recovery program.
Today I am keeping it simple. This was my holiday with my beloved Tim and I miss him more than ever. That's okay, it's what I am suppose to feel. I will go for a brisk walk and enjoy the serenity. Then I will enjoy a cozy day of watching football & having dinner.
I have cooked a really good dinner ahead of time. So the only thing I need to do is cook the turkey breast and reheat everything. The menu is: herb roasted turkey breast, cranberry chutney, a puree of potatoes, fennel & apple, homemade turkey onion gravy and a gingered pumpkin tart w/homemade whipped cream. Remember the calories don't count todauy so I can have my pumpkin & eat it too. Is it time to eat yet?
This is the first time that I don't have to be at work tomorrow at 4am. My new position has me coming in at 1pm. It feels wierd I admit after all these years. I actually love to get up early and watch the shoppers come ouy. This is life on life's terms. I am grateful that I have a job.
Holidays can be hard on our Alanon family. Make sure to have a plan B. That always helps. Remember there are plenty of meetings to get to. Many do a Thanksgiving dinner or some kind of festivities too. You can always come here as well.
Time for me to get dressed and go for that walk. Much love and blessings to you and your families. For those who are serving in the military and their famillies, I am profoundly grateful for all you & your sacrifices. May you all come home safely.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

Soooo special (((((hugs))))) and cranberry chutney too? I'd die for cranberry chutney. An Al-Anon sister use to make it (with a sting to it) and would give me a bunch...most times it wouldn't even make it back home with me. LOL what an addict!! I prayed you well. Have a great day.
