I dont mean to disappoint.
Oh hello, I haven’t forgotten—I was supposed to post on Thanksgiving. Somehow life got in the way. Although, sometimes that upsets me, but, most of the time it leaves me thankful, what’s wrong with a little living? So, I had other “ideas” for this post. I had a drawing in mind then a video then a mixture of both! Then, I thought to post something REAL, something raw, something that got in the way. So, I took away the story book feel and it came down to the realness of just being.
Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving.
The day started slow, a cup of coffee and an egg on whole grain toast. I am so thankful for you breakfast. Then, fed the cat and ran out the door, leaving the apartment a mess. I then met my two friends, Nick and Dilyana. I invited them both to come meet my unconventional family this thanksgiving. Still, so thankful for you unconventional family. We missed the train by 5 minutes! And ended up waiting 3 ½ hours for the next train. Finally at 4:30 we boarded the train to go to a place I once called home. The evening was spent eating delicious sweet potatoes (and other food too), drinking wine, and playing bingo. This Thanksgiving was a very simple easy going day. The night ended with goofy pictures and a train ride back to sweet home Chicago.
We also ran into Adam!
HEY! at least I have a mustard yellow hat on. And the lighting leans towards mustard yellow as well.
I’m thankful for:
family, friends, being alive and well, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, my warm apartment, holiday dream tea, apricot rugala, the internet, ooh-la-lace skirt (gasps!), iron and wine (music in general), hugs, you,
The list could go on. We have so much to be thankful for.
