Well, it's the end of Thanksgiving. For this year, anyway. And I ate three pieces of pie...cherry (my absolute favorite), pumpkin (my second favorite...and the best with whipped cream), and apple. In my defense...I ran/walked a little over eight miles. I didn't eat breakfast - just a banana when I was done running. Then I waited for our one p.m. meal. I tried a little bit of it all, but I didn't eat too much of any one thing. I did eat a lot since there are like a million dishes on Turkey Day.
But what can you do? After all, it's a chance to be thankful for everything, including the bounty that was our dinner. Yum.
And I think it will be my new tradition to always run eight miles on Thanksgiving. I did it last year, and I loved it. It's much more fun when you are part of a Turkey Trot, and your two sisters-in-law run with you and you cross the finish line holding hands, I must admit. But still, this was a good way to start my day, outside and running along the river trail. Of course then, I don't feel so bad about stuffing my face.
Oh Thanksgiving, how I do love you. So a list of things to be grateful for:
1. Good health
2. Lots of food
3. A loving family
4. A testimony of Jesus Christ
5. Living in the United States of American...even with our troubles and such I wouldn't want to live anywhere else
6. Having lived in so many places in these United States of America...I've been in some awesome places
7. The troops who serve us so loyally
8. Pie
9. Good books and lots of them
10. Abundant opportunity
Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!
