I have always kind of viewed Thanksgiving as the holiday before Christmas. I feel like I regularly give thanks for my many blessings but not necessarily on Thanksgiving Day. I realized this year that there are many special moments even amid the chaos. Families are a wonderful, exasperating, unique, quirky phenonemon. It is usually a good idea to go armed with a sense of humor and the desire to learn from others. This year I learned how to make a duck blind, the difference between straw and hay and a few other things that I am sure will come in handy. Hope your Thanksgiving was just as blessed.
