Thanksgiving

My, but the day went quickly!

I could say the same thing of the year, actually. From start to finish, it has been the fastest year I've lived through yet. That happens to all of us, I know. I even think I have figured out why. When we are babies, a single day is a significant fraction of our overall lives. By the time we hit our 30's, 40's, and 50's (and so on), a single day is an increasingly smaller fraction of our overall lives. When you are three days old, one day is an entire third of your life. At age five, one day is 1/1825. By thirty, the fraction becomes 1/10,950 of your life. Of course, the days would seem to go by more quickly, given that context. 

Anyway, the kiddos and I have been busy with school and home. We have also put up the tree and decorated the house, where we spend a great deal of time saturated with Christmas music! (:  

Today was Thanksgiving. Hubs, who has been working very long hours away from home, got to spend the day eating and resting. My, how needed that was! :) We did not go out, and we did not have anyone in. It was our own little piece of heaven on earth. :)

We kept the dinner small (for us), but it was still quite filling. We made entirely too many cookies this week. I surprised and pleased myself by not having the appetite for them. Yay! Even the magic cookie bars that ended up being an impromptu experimental pie did not sway me. Same goes for the peppermint/chocolate fudge, and that is saying something... the stuff tastes like York peppermint patties!

Now we are officially in the holiday season, and I look forward to wrapping gifts and spending even more time with my three favorite people. :) I hope your day was lovely, wherever you are, and that you have been blessed with family or friends.
