THANKSGIVING-THE FAMILY'S JOURNEY HOME

Whether the journey is cross country or simply to the dining room table, the dream of nearly every American family is to create a time of togetherness at Thanksgiving. Our hope for this magical interlude typically involves a desire for loving interactions, acceptance of our differences, and gratitude for the simple warmth of our kinship. It is an opportunity for each family to create a new memory while celebrating traditions handed down from those who have gone before.

Often the most difficult part of our journey is the distance from our day-to-day challenges to the dining table in the next room. Each of us often comes to this time carrying an image of how things ought to be...if we were able to set the scene just so. What would this day bring if we were able to put aside our expectations, and simply enjoy the spirit of being together? We might find--

A day when our family's story could be told-
A day when just being part of something larger than ourselves is enough-
A day of joy and excitement-
A day of kindness-
A day without distractions-
A day of rekindling the dream-
A day when we are reminded of the possibilities-
A day of remembering-
A day, not really about the turkey, the stuffing, the china and the silver-
A day about us-

My Favorite Recipe for Thanksgiving Dinner

1. Turn to a new page in the cookbook-welcome someone to your home
2. Add a measure of self-value-give everyone a role in the preparation
3. Fold in something familiar-celebrate a tradition
4. Sprinkle with the once a year holiday spice-call a special person who is not present
5. Fill the kitchen with wonderful aromas-share a family story
6. Add a warm glow-light a candle

      Hold hands, look at one another and smile...
    Give thanks for the opportunity...
                               Enjoy the meal....
