Since returning from Dallas a little more than a month ago some things in my life have become "un-foggy" or more clear rather. One of those things is the way I spend my time and energy. This has always been important to me but in light of my grandmothers recent stroke I have come to the resolve that there is a simplicity of life that far outweighs the false importance of the "hustle and bustle". Because of this recent epiphany my thoughts have shifted quite dramatically to what actually matters the most. One of those things is family.

So many things I concern myself with; work, decisions, "to-do" lists, etc. But as I watched my grandmother laying in the hospital bed, mesmerized by the sound of her breathing accompanied by the rhythmic beeping of various monitors... something in me shifted. In the weeks that followed it seemed as if God peeled away a layer of me that was preoccupied with society's standards of living and brought me back to the true relevance of life: humanity.
I spent my Thanksgiving time with my parents, two sisters and 9 of my nieces and nephews.

With the aromas coming from the kitchen, little ones running about, and lots of relaxing happening, Thanksgiving time was absolutely warm and yummy!
