I have many things to be thankful for everyday. This year was a special year because I spent the day preparing and cooking for Thanksgiving with our kids. They especially got to cook with my mom, who came over to help on Wednesday. We created trays of food for families going through loss and hardships in our community. Richard and the boys spent an hour delivering the meals we made to a few of the families, who did not have transportation on Thanksgiving Day. There are so many people going through heartbreak and loss, and I was happy to give them a hot meal made with love and care. 75% of the ingredients were donated by our Buy Nothing community and my friends. I'm just grateful my body has healed enough for me to cook like this again. My body might be tired but, it's a happy heart tired, a satisfied tired, a fulfilled tired... because if I can do it, I'm going to do it.
