Home for the Holidays

Monday, November 23, 2020

I'm home for the holidays
nowhere to go
No grandkids to visit,
I guess I'll sew!
The fancy desserts
I will not make
Instead, I'll have
a protein shake
Turn off the TV,
My walks will be longer
Home for the holidays-
I'll be a bit stronger.

Make the most of your healthy holidays, no matter how you spend them.
Jackie Stetser

Thanks Jackie, have a great Thanksgiving. I am thankful all I read on Spark and the encouragement I find here.
We celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday because I am having foot surgery tomorrow, I will not be able to walk for six weeks on my foot then I will be in a walking cast for six weeks.

I am not going to have my kids over for Thanksgiving. It was a painful decision for my husband and I to make. We will instead make dinner for them and deliver it to them. We are cooking two meals. It should be good. My husband made a schedule of when all the food needs to be made. I am hoping that Christmas will be different and that they will all be able to come over to our house. God willing. This pandemic is really getting to me.

Love your poem Jackie. Our Thanksgiving and Christmas has always been the two of us since we moved to Fl. That's fine with us, but I can understand how others may be grieving this year.

The holidays will definitely different this year but even though the family won't be gathered together, I am so thankful that are all safe and well. We have the technology to be together virtually so we will settle for that this year and be thankful for it.

We have no choice this year. My husband and I had a talk yesterday about grieving for our lost Thanksgiving. I told him we had to talk about it because I know he is hurting as much as I am because we hosted nearly 30 people for nearly 30 years. It is sad but we will get through it and we have each other if not our big family.

Very true, a different world out there. And will be a different holiday. I did find something I can do to help you. Going to my son's across state and their church is doing a dinner delivery to the shut-ins. So we signed up for three hour shift to help pack and deliver Thanksgiving dinners to folks in his area. Found a way to pay forward all the blessings I have been given.

Accurate poem!

We'll be treating the holiday the same way. With the exception that we will take a hike with the local grandkids over the holiday period.

It will be Thanksgiving for two for us this year.
But, we will be in touch with relatives by phone that day.

Better safe than sorry.

Happy Monday!
