We celebrated one of my favorite holidays at home today with two of our neighbors in the building and their kids.
Turns out it was our first time properly entertaining at home in years! I'm not sure we have ever invited more than one family over to our apartment for a sit down meal at one time. So funny to realize it.
It feels particularly fitting this year not to dwell on difficulties but to focus on expressing gratitude.
For the ability to call this beautiful apartment home.
For precocious, healthy, intelligent, and adorable children. For the family members, helpers, teachers, doctors and coaches who help in raising these children.
For a beautiful, bountiful and absolutely delicious spread. Easily the best Thanksgiving meal I've ever had.
For access to good food, clean water, all the medical help and assistance that we may need.
May we all find room for gratitude, peace and comfort at this very moment in our lives, and bask momentarily in that pure and sweet delight.
Happy Thanksgiving.
