Packing up the Halloween...

Well, I have worked my booty off today trying to get my inside Halloween stuff packed away. Now that Halloween is over, Thanksgiving is on my brain.  My decor is lacking for this holiday.  I am one of those people who put their Christmas tree(s) up before Thanksgiving.  I DID NOT DO IT TODAY...settle down...but I am fighting it.  ha 

Thanksgiving is usually a stressful holiday because I am sad that my family cannot all be together because of whatever circumstances that be.  I will celebrate with Thanksgiving because despite everything NOT going well in my family, I have nothing but love for everyone.  I battle with not being able to change it...waiting on God.  My efforts usually end up being taken the wrong way. 

Ya know, there are so many things going so right.  I am very blessed and pray that in time there will be forgiveness.  I pray that one day old stuff will be put aside and we can all just express our love for one another.  That is what is in my heart.  We certainly all have our issues within our families so I will be praying for others as well. 

Thanksgiving just hasn't been the same since my Grandmother passed away.  We always went to her house.  I miss her the most around the holidays.   I think everyone struggles...she would not like us fretting over her.  She was the center of our family...so her absence is HUGE! 

I realize this post is a complete downer...guess there are times I just feel a wave of emotion come over me.  I have joy in my heart and love for people.  I am reminding myself to count my blessings and continue praying for restoration in my family.

Here are some happy things going on today admist my emotion...ha
I am thankful for you, friends. 

Got this from Lydia via text... making cake pops for Thanksgiving.  Very cute!
