Happy Thanksgiving from Scottsdale, Arizona!
Even though this year will be spent alone, I'm happy for my daughters across the country to be with their families and those they love!
One of my favorite quotes:
"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."Eleanor Roosevelt
Richard - thank you so much for reaching out. It isn't as tough this year as in the past. Thanks to ActiveRain for bringing us all together. Comments and blogs do mean the world to me. You're the best!
I remember Debb. I'll have to look her up. It's probably the freckles!
Jan - come on over! We've always got room for one more at our Thanksgiving table. Really!!! We also know what it's like to be without kids around the holiday so we fill our home with love and friends and enjpy the 'differnt' times'. Would love love to have you join us!
Jan - I hope you do have a lovely day. Sometimes, being alone doesn't mean being lonely. Happy Thanksgiving.
Anna - you're a doll. Always willing to reach out to others. Since I wrote this, I've received 3 invitations + yours! I'll take a raincheck this year. We'll have to get together sometime soon. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with your family and friends. I know you will!
Toni - Thank you for your comments. Yes, I've learned over the past 11 years that I'm not really alone. Today, I feel like a kid watching the parade, drinking hot tea and chatting with friends. Have a wonderful day today!
Hi Jan -
This is a bit late but I wanted to say I hope you enjoyed a quiet and bright YOU day. We laid pretty low, nothing big and for once neither of our cell phones rang all day! Hope you have a great weekend.
Best regards from the Q
Jan,
I have no freckles, but I do have some Irish in me...mom's dad came from Ireland. Perhaps, it's our green tint (philosophy?) too, that makes us similar. At any rate, I shall subscribe and associate, since it's wonderful to meet a woman with three children - I have a daugher and two sons - and one who is an EcoBroker. :)
Hey John! Thanks for your Turkey Day wishes. Yes, it was a nice day after all. I usually dread holidays as my girls are across the country from me. But this time, it was nice to be with girlfriends! Glad that you had a nice day together with no cells ringing! No it will be bells ringing. Have a great weekend as well!
Debb - That's it! We're both Irish! I've always wanted to go to Ireland. My family is from Waterford County. And one of your kids is an EcoBroker - even better! My daughter in Alaska could qualify for that. Very green girl and her name is Erin. Go figure. Will swap associates as well. Have a great weekend!
