Welcome

Welcome all to my new adventure beginning blogging.  I'm not one to write thoughts and feelings but on the contrary I feel I have a lot of awesomeness to share.  So hello,  I am feeling overwhelmed with bliss on this day of thanksgiving.  I love my husband and children more than life.  I made all vegan sides to accompany my in laws roast of huge turkey and oyster stuffing.  I didn't even tell them it was all vegan.  It was so good.   My husband tom has been vegetarian for a while with me and has now gone vegan.  He has been reading all the lovely books I put beside the toilet.  ha ha on diet and ethical/ enviormental issues concerning our factory farms.  It felt good to know no beautiful creature had to die for my meal today.  As strongly as I feel about not eating meat I love all you in my life who choose to do so.  Just be informed   I mean really informed and make the choice that's right for you.  Its all good.
     I did miss my parents today.  It is hard being an only child at times.  I wish I had traditions  around the holidays.  I am usually the one who trys to invite all and then some to my home.  Sadly,  it's only my folks which this year was a no go.  So I  find the joy in being with my own family that is here in our home.   I can't make my parents come to nh to see me.  To them it is a far drive 2 hours and they wouldn't know what to do without a turkey they say.  Oh well.  I do miss them.  Some day I in vision Thanksgiving with my four beautiful children grown up married baby's on the way.  I'm beaming now just thinking about it.  I'm thankful for it all.  This has been the best year of my life.  More to come on why later............
