Oh Thanksgiving. Such a great holiday filled with great food, great people, great weather, and great activities! One reason I especially love Thanksgiving is I stop and think what I am grateful for in my life!
This Thanksgiving couldn't have gone better. I drove to Arizona and literally my whole family was there. It was a fun filled family reunion. We did a two mile Turkey Trot, went shooting, did some black friday shopping, had an iron chef competition, played so many games, and laughed so hard we peed our pants. Being with my family makes me feel so lucky to be surrounded by people like them.
On the drive home from Arizona I was thinking...why do we need holidays to be our excuse to be thankful, or extra nice, or do charity work. Those are things we should always do regardless of the time of year. No matter what trial you are going through right now there is always something that is positive. Sometimes you have to look for it a little harder. It could be as simple as looking at the snow covered mountains and just appreciaitng the beautiful place we live in. Holidays are awesome, and I hope to live everyday like it's a holiday, which would make my life an overall AWE MOMENT!
