This time of year I feel more concerned about peoples emotional well-being than I do about what goes in their stomach. It's a given that we will be well fed! More importantly, will we actually enjoy our Thanksgiving season, or will we stress out about perfection, in-laws, house guests or wine stains on the new carpet. Here area few tips to remember as a very busy season approaches...1. Give yourself time-out or alone time each day. Even 5 minutes can help you refocus and keep perspective.
2. Purpose to give time or a meal to a family that is less fortunate than you are. The humbleness you'll find in this gift will change you forever.
3. Don't expect perfection from yourself.
4. Have fun. If you cannot enjoy this season, it has no purpose.
5. Always remember to thank God for the privilege to celebrate with our families. Freedom is a gift.
Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours...daphne
