It’s time, right?
To get on the road with the thawing turkey in the backseat,
the Delia’s tamales for Saturday’s Aggie game in tow,
the sacks and sacks of groceries stuck in every nook and cranny,
the crate of Christmas decorations (found in the Christmas closet) it is time to share with my daughters for their homes,
and the mantra ‘I think I can, I think I can ,I think I can’, when I think about facing the anxiety of making giblet gravy tomorrow.
A very dear friend said to me recently, when I was worrying about how to handle challenges in my life,
”It’s all about the relationship Laura. Protect that and everything will be OK.”
So 7 hours laughing in the truck and talking about football with my husband and not worrying about the future is about the relationship,
and supper last night at Luby’s with my father because he will be celebrating Thanksgiving with my brother’s family is about the relationship,
and remembering to ask myself whose standard it is ,when feeling aggravated or irritable is about protecting my relationships at large.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving,
Laura

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and it looks like our Texas weather is going to be beautiful! I hope you have a lot of joy and happiness with your family.
I'm a Longhorn fan in a family of Aggies, but we are all sad at the loss of the traditional Turkey Day game. On a lighter note for me, I can now freely root loud and proud for the Aggies (I always secretly did, except when playing my beloved Longhorns, lol) ... and I am so PROUD of how they represented! at the Alabama game.
Be safe in your travels!
