Time

Today I am thankful for time.  I had an unexpected day off today and along with it was blessed with the ability to get back on top of my life.  Those of you who spend time with me know that my work life balance is nothing to brag about and that if you ask me what time I am coming home at night when I leave for work in the morning, I generally have no clue and can give a ballpark figure at best.  But what this also means is that some days the work falls from under me due to delays in deals or clients actually taking off for the holidays (like a Thanksgiving miracle).  Today was one of those days and it was awesome. In fact each day this week I left the office by two and ran errands. It is amazing how good it feels to just get stuff done.  My packages that have been sitting there forever are now mailed, my turkey is thawing in its new roaster pan, my table is set because I could not resist laying it out to see how it would look, my kitchen is ready for the cooking to begin tomorrow and I am just so happy. Although I felt bad that I had a sickie husband home today, I loved that I could make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and to sit and watch a movie with him. I know that almost everyone wishes that there were more hours in each day, but today I will go to bed thinking that I had just enough hours to do everything I wanted.  And for that, I am very very thankful

I am also thankful for these awesome new candle holders that I got on one of my errands, thank you Cost Plus.  I think that I am slightly obsessed considering that I have lit them twice already and have had them less than 24 hours. Hey, whatever makes you happy, right?

 

Tomorrow I will celebrate my second Thanksgiving of 2011 and host my first ever!  It will be a tiny gathering of me, Chris and my mom, but that sounds just about perfect for cooking my first turkey.  Hope everyone else is enjoying this time as much as I am.  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
