To all my WordPress friends ~ warmest wishes to you for a blessed and happy day of giving thanks.
Try not to be so harried and rushed that the day loses its significance and becomes a drudgery. Holidays can turn us into loose cannons ready to explode at the first sign of a glitch. Pour yourself another cup of coffee and watch the parade with the kids for half an hour, then go back and face that problem. You may be surprised how inconsequential it really is.
Take the pressure off yourself; we’re not superheroes so don’t feel like you have to juggle ten baking pans at once. Ask for a little help; you may discover cooking with someone can be more fun and relaxing than cooking for someone. And when I’m having fun and feeling relaxed, it’s contagious.
Hit the play button and get some cool tunes going. That old saying that music soothes the savage beast is true. Let the calm wash over you like a warm relaxing shower. You don’t even have to go hunting through your CDs or playlists; there’s a video at the end of this post that will take you all the way through appetizers, dinner and dessert (and maybe a little romantic dancing after all your guests have left)!
Remember the meaning of thanksgiving, the things and people in life that make you feel blessed. No matter how difficult times get, there’s always something to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. Whether you observe the holiday or not, may you enjoy a beautiful day of peaceful solitude or celebratory joy with those you hold near and dear. Be thankful, grateful and blessed, today and every day.

Oh! We have an advert that is on every evening featuring Trevor the dinosaur and Connie the doll…. Every time I see it ( there are six different scenarios) I think of you and your avatar…. Look at Connie
Happy Thanksgiving 💜😁

Thank you for your lovely Thanksgiving wishes. My daughter-in-law is doing all the cooking today and asked me to bring only a stuffing (or dressing, as I think it’s called in the UK). My day will be very easy and relaxing.
