It's the day after Thanksgiving, how are you feeling?
I'm feeling content, slow moving, nostalgic and thankful. I'm not doing any shopping today, but for those of you who are, I wish you great success and stamina!
I took a slice of time today to change the look of my blog from Fall to Winter. Though that sounds simple, it took me way to long. I'm still not happy, and keep looking for something else. Kind of like my house...always looking for that special something that will give it the perfect zing! Oh, I forgot, I said I was feeling content!
Dinner was great, precious family gathered here except for my grandson Mac who had to work. He was very much missed. I just hate it when kids and grands grow up!
I'm eyeing my fall decorations and thinking about putting them away, but that involves a few trips down the basement. So, for now I'm putting them all on the kitchen table where "someone" will have to move them to the basement. While down there, "someone" will then be able to bring up the Christmas decorations! Yay for "someone"! ("someone" may be me!)
Are you eating left-overs tonight? We will be and I'm looking forward to it. If I'm preparing a big meal for the family at my house, I am usually too tired to really enjoy it, so this will almost be like eating it for the first time!
I'm thinking about cleaning my kitchen floor, yesterday a bottle of cranberry soda exploded upon opening and had an amazing trajectory - I think the red, sticky foam hit almost every thing! Poor Amy got it the worst, but then, she was the one who opened it!
Speaking of my younger daughter, Amy - she will be leaving in a few days. She will be going out of state for training and to turn her career path in a new direction after being a nurse for over a decade. God has gone before her in every step and she is excited for this next path He is leading her to take. She will still be in the medical field, but a totally different area. Where He leads...she will follow and be blessed!
Well, I think it may just be time for a piece of pie and a cup of tea! Yep, still feeling that Thanksgiving glow - and a little sticky too!
~It is well with my soul

Hi Pat .. I'm feeling content too, especially after eating a small piece of apple pie and coffee for breakfast :). I hope someone brings up the laundry from the basement too .. of course, after some washes it first. Have a blessed day after Thanksgiving, savoring the leftovers and memories of the day!
I'm feeling a little crazed! I worked yesterday, then was silly and went out shopping today. I have a lot to do in the next few days and don't have a day off again till Friday. Oh well - it'll get done and I'll survive! :)
I'm interested in what Amy is doing. Good for her for stepping out and doing something different!
I'm feeling contented. Like you, the second eating is when I really taste it... and the left-overs are the best.
I seem to have a lot of company in the leftover department! And it's cold turkey sandwiches for me--with a little mayo, etc.! (Just none this year)
I'm going to put away the turkeys and pumpkins today, too. Not sure what/how much Christmas to bring out. Wish I would wave a magic wand...
How exciting it must be to watch your daughter move into a new role! (We have an Amy, also. She and her family were missing from our celebrations this past weekend, but we look forward to seeing them at Christmas.)
I'm needing to practice contentment. The long hours of darkness have already begun to make me feel lethargic and a bit "blue". I'm aware of it--so need to make some wise decisions about my response.
Thanks for stopping over. It was good to hear from you. (And I LIKE your background - but know how it is to always feel you need to tweak it somehow.....)
Hi Pat...I always love your posts and sense of humor and I need to get over here more often. I've been a bit out of the loop and I miss my blogland friends! Thanks so much for your comments concerning my brother. He is my closest sibling...we live 4 miles apart and raised our kids together through thick and thin. Worshipping in church this morning with my mom and hubby has given me some much needed added strength and hope. I will trust the goodness of God no matter what the outcome. This is one of the biggest blows of my life however...still just seems so unreal. I'll keep you posted and I surely depend on the prayers! Thank you friend! So sorry Mac had to work on Thanksgiving. That is SUCH a bummer!!!
