It sounds pretty lame, but before you feel sorry for me and say, "Aww! You could have come over my house," please know that I spent the day just how I wanted to. I love lounging around in my pajamas with my laptop and a hot cup of tea or apple cider. And I enjoy being at home more than any other place I can think of. In addition, I wasn't feeling really well today, so I opted out of the 3.5 hour drive to my mother-in-laws with my husband. My son's are traveling this year, visiting friends out-of-state, and my own mom, went to visit her mom several hours away.
I'm trying to be more conscience of what I put in my mouth, so I was fine with not having the traditional Thanksgiving Day meal. I need to be more responsible about my eating choices, and start turning down the mac and cheese, yams with pecans, yeast rolls, stuffing, gravy . . . all that. Sounds delicious, but I have to just say no. I did make some pancakes this morning, and prepared a nutritious (and quite normal) dinner for Davion.
Now it's pretty much the end of a perfect day for me, and I was just flipping through the news and caught a story of an organization that served meals today. Suddenly I realized how selfish I've been. I could have spent my day in a much better way. Instead of just lounging around the house piddling in my PJs, I could have found somewhere to serve. I could have pulled on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, found a soup kitchen and fixed some plates. I could have helped a mom seat her children and maybe even helped feed a few.
Man - what a wasted day! Next year - I'm serving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families. How did you spend your Thanksgiving?
