A Heart of Thanksgiving

Turkey, mash potatoes, pomegranate sparkling drink, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, apple pie with ice cream, fruit salads, best stuffing in the known world, and even more. 

That was the sight my eyes beheld, the smell my nose endured and the tumble and rumble my poor stomach felt as I sat in front of my
Thanksgiving feast. 

The first question on my mind.  Why did it seem like this morning was an eternity ago?  Waiting to eat seemed to go on and on and on…….

Second Question.  how am I able to wait for dinner at least 360 days of the year until 6 p.m. or later?!  Our Thanksgiving feast was scheduled for 3:30 and I thought I was going to die.

Third Question.  Why am I complaining?!  haha oh my goodness.  Thanksgiving just excites me.  My mother and grandmother cook so wonderfully.  I just love it.

As my family and I were eating we decided to go around the table and express three things we’re grateful for.  Well I didn’t like the idea of choosing just three.  So here’s a list of what I’m grateful for.
