The best things about Thanksgiving are the leftovers. Here’s mine–some thoughts I collected while breaking the wishbone.
If all the material things
were worn and obsolete,
if there were no
big houses or cars or technologies,
we’d still have plenty to be thankful for…
as long as we have each other.
Because when it’s all said and done,
family is all that really matters.
Everyone may have
a slightly different definition of family.
But we’re fortunate enough to define it
in a way that transcends
wealth, desire or achievement.
For me…for us…family is the constant
that remains in an every changing world,
the unending support and affection
that exists even when we’re miles
or minutes apart.
Family means creating a home
in which the kids are so loved
they have the confidence to succeed –
and demonstrating, over and over,
that family is defined
not by where we live,
but the depth of our love.
It means everything.
Happy Holidays
