Just sooo not ready for the Holidays here in VA…nice weather but no spirit and I feel like I haven’t done anything at all in this truly fast year. Hope you have a wonderful time in Hawaii and a special Holiday with your precious family….Ruth

I live in Arizona but am from Alaska. It never seems like the holidays because of no snow!! I would say I am never motivated for the holidays and really have to force myself. I can’t seem to get over the no snow thing!

I hesitate to share my mood, as it stinks. Various things going on make life very stressful this season. On the upside, however, our holiday tradition IS to be low key, so that will be my refuge tomorrow and over the weekend – that and the gazillion things in life over which I am thankful.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful day. Thanks for sharing.

It’s okay that you’re having a different energy about the holidays this year.

Consider doing different things–why not? Try giving up snail mail cards this year (hey, the environment will thank you).

Give yourself permission to experience life as it is and enjoy it–rather than thinking you have adjust things a certain way before you can relax or feel everything is “right.” Your feelings at this moment are telling you what is right for you today and maybe at this season in your life. So go with it. In fact, go FOR it!!!

Happy Thanksgiving~

I cooked for Canadian Thanksgiving dinner but now other folks are cooking American Thanksgiving dinner. That will be a treat for sure. In lovely Casa Grande, Arizona.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy your friends’ hospitality.
Hang in there with the house renos.

Since I’m Canadian I spent our Thanksgiving at the ECWC in Seattle and completely missed it this year. And I didn’t seem to mind. As we are gearing up for the Christmas holidays I find myself struggling to stay positive. It’s been a rough year for us and so many others and I worry about everything. On the other hand, it is my favourite time of year, so I’m sure as soon as the Christmas music starts playing and the lights start showing up, I will turn it around.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Hi Jane,

I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving either. I am very thankful this year, this is the first year in a long time that I do not have to work and I can actually eat dinner with my family.

I hope that you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving Day.

Melissa
