This weekend was full to the brim with family, great friends and much too much food! Friday brought family from out of town, dinner at mom and dad's with them and late night chatting; Saturday some work around the house followed by an awesome evening with friends and family, some of the best local cheese around along with some fine Canadian Scotch, Glen Breton and some lovely Porto; Sunday, my mom's awesome as always turkey dinner, again with family and friends; and holiday Monday brought a great workout then off to fly for an hour with friends (who knew you could rent a plane for an hour and head out?!)
More than anything, it's the time spent with family and friends that is most welcomed and most appreciated. It is a reminder of what is truly important and of value in my life. The hours of Trivial Pursuit Sunday was a refreshing tradition that we had at some point given up - why, I'll never know! I mean what's better than a game of trivia, a bit of friendly competition, girls against the guys, ESPECIALLY where the girls win - and on a golf question, no less :-) Sitting around at a friend's place Saturday evening just relaxing and catching up was a welcome escape from the distracting busy-ness I sometimes find myself in the midst of. It is sometimes the perceived mundane aspects of our lives that actually have the most to offer - something I commit to reminding myself of when I start to carried away.
So, on this absolutely gorgeous and cool fall evening, before setting out for the work week, I thank all of you for an absolutely awesome Thanksgiving long weekend and for the subtle reminders of everything I have to be thankful for!
