Happy Thanksgiving (hopefully)

I'm pleased with my rallied day. It wasn't perfect, but I let stuff roll off.

Meditation was good and I had a cry on the way to the food tasting which was even better (and probably long overdue). Thanksgiving is a big memory with my dad and the last time I saw him -- very long story, but I miss him the most at Thanksgiving. That combined with everything going on (lots of big feelings) prompted a cry when I heard a song on the radio. I'm much more relaxed today. I wish I could cry on command, but it takes a big old workup to get going. 

I visited a hair salon downtown for wedding hair and I'm excited about it. Then walked and found a local coffee shop and got a double decaf cortado. All before meeting the kids and my DIL's mother and sister for the food tasting. Little FS stuff helping the day along.

The wedding venue is amazing and the food tasting was spectacular. It's going to be a really great weekend. And, I let all the "drama" and comments and everything wash over me. I was myself and I had a nice time. 

It is super important to me these days to show up as myself -- when I do this in harder circumstances I'm all the more proud. It feels good.

Obviously, today is Thanksgiving. Hubby is still asleep so I have no idea if he's well enough to come. I have to make stuffing and mac&cheese. I prepped yesterday and realized I forgot to buy onions. I'll hit the store first thing this morning. What was I thinking? 

I'm planning to run at the park with Duke -- still some thunderstorms so it's a little up in the air. I have a 9 mile, hard hike tomorrow so I need to keep my legs fresh enough to handle the hills and the speed of this hike leader.

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm ready for turkey and pie -- I rarely get either unless it's Thanksgiving and they are both favorites. Later gators.
