thanksgiving is the best!

The only drawback to the day today was that my girls, and their parents, were not here. It was simply a wonderful day filled with family, food, and no money. I didn't even make the kids say what they were thankful for, as it was just so obvious. We ate, played inside and out, watched a movie, visited, snuggled, and most importantly, enjoyed each other.

I had an extra helping of the most amazing salad, and 3 pieces of bacon with supper, and considering the options, I'm OK with that.

Several years ago I learned that living in gratitude is really the only satisfying way to go about it. Being clean allows me to access that part of myself more readily, and I give thanks for that, as well as the immeasurable blessings in my life. Even the challenges and difficulties are gifts, lovingly referred to as (AFGO) another fucking growth opportunity.


With thanks and much love, elly
