Traditions
Holiday season is upon us, ready or not it is time to get busy and celebrate Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas to name a few major events of the season. How do you prepare?
Do you decorate for each of the celebrations or does your decor blend the best of each? When do you begin decorating for Christmas? Before or after Thanksgiving?
Each year the struggle between tradition and new ideas grows at our house. The traditionalist states, decoration have set times, colors and themes. Apples in September, Columbus Day, the World Series and Pumpkins in October, Fall leaves, Veteran's Day, Turkeys, Pilgrims and Harvest in November, and Red, Green and Gold command December as the decorations and lights go up on the 1st day of the month. The traditionalist goes yet further with the same meals, foods and activities. The one with new ideas and alternative possibilities asks why not this, why do we do that. Or even proclaims we are doing something different this year, using different colors instead of red, green and gold.
Neither is right or wrong. Traditions have a place, marking the passing of time, and even building a rich memory bank for each one present. I feel there is room for both schools of thought as we prepare for the holidays.
Holidays are to be celebrated and filled with joy, not silent stressed filled rooms. Be open to new ideas, be flexible to new possibilities, create memories but more importantly share love, spread peace, and express joy. Enjoy the feasts!

Dusty Boxes and Hidden Treasure
Yesterday I spent the day in the attic among the storage boxes surrounded by memories. A day of reflection and the discovery of hidden treasures. Confession, I was distracted from my original purpose of cleaning thanks to a collection of dusty boxes in the corner. Please tell me I am not the only one who when cleaning or other chores ends up down a 'rabbit trail'.
Most of the contents within the boxes had been discarded and forgotten over the years. Notes, letters, outlines, manuscripts, crumpled bits of paper, smudged, stained with fading ink. Dreams shelved or rather boxed for the future. Ideas, thoughts, events, stories recorded by hand only to rest covered in dust in the attic. The dust has been removed and the contents are currently being sorted. So now what?
There's a stirring, a calling, a rush of memories. Someday has captured my attention Today.
I am certain you have a Someday list too, as in, "Someday I will ___________ ". Head to your attic, your thoughts, your wildest dreams and revisit the items on your Someday list. You may be surprised to learn your Someday is now Today!

Giving Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Feast Day! Happy Football!
Thanksgiving brings a rush of memories~ filled with laughter and tears.
Yet, Thanksgiving 2016 my heart is overflowing with the many blessings of the year.
I can't really hang out and chat today, I'm running behind on the creation of the feast. [Yep, I stayed up way to late playing in the studio last night when I should have been cooking!]
Years ago we broke with "Tradition" as in no turkey! Gasp!!
Since the break-up, every year the menu changes. This year is no different, everyone has submitted a request for entree, sides and desserts. And once again, no one has requested turkey, gravy, dressing.... Shrimp is at the top of the entree listings.
What will you be serving later today? Do you have any Thanksgiving Traditions unique to your family?
Happy Thanksgiving!
Carol
