Friends, family and food

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays for a couple of reasons.
I like to eat and Thanksgiving always means good food. There is turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, sweet potatoes (and I love me some sweet potatoes). Oh, and we can't forget the pies. Not to brag, but I make a pretty damn good pecan pie -- I have my great grandmother's recipe. :)
But as great as the food is, I like Thanksgiving because it is a good excuse to have a nice meal with family and/or friends. It is a nice to get together folks, have some food and have some great conversation.
Thanksgiving is also a time for me to reflect on how lucky I am and have so many things to be thankful for. I have a job; am healthy; have a loving husband; have a happy marriage; have two fat and happy cats; have a wonderful family; have great friends; and have a home. I am truly blessed.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
