holiday preparations

some memories had come up recently of
the hard time in my life....
and even tho it all hurt bad at the time,
i feel okay about it.

i never quite know how to articulate that.

well....i just opened a book and bam right
there i have this part underlined....
ohhhhhhh had to share!

'crisis can force us deep enough to find out
who we really are and what we truly love,
and it is here, where there are no masks,
no one else's values or beliefs, that passion
lives.'

wow.
that's it!
there's something to that, isn't there?
there's something big to that!

as i'm gettin' ready for thanksgiving in my
heart over here, i honestly feel grateful
for that time of darkness in my life....

i've felt gratitude before. knowing i was
going in the right direction...but this time...
maybe cause i'm far enough down the road from
it, i can look and smile.

my life has changed a lot. i used to be busy
at this point planning and already starting
the cooking for thanksgiving. definitely cleaning
already....

i won't be doin' that this year. it's real simple
and easy. i'm enjoyin' that part. but i want to
prepare for the holiday....i like the preparation
part. the anticipation.

so i decided to prepare my heart as well as i used
to prepare my house.....

preparations begin today!
think it's gonna be kinda fun!

gonna let the guys know....i'm sure there will
be lotsa teasing and lotsa challenging me....

it'll be all part of it....
gonna bring one heck of an open and grateful heart
to the feast this week......
