GOBBLE GOBBLE 2019

Dear friends,
In keeping with sending unconditional love round the world, please pass a healthy portion of my best wishes to enjoy a happy, hearty, peaceful turkey day to everyone you love who resides within the USA and beyond while my family creates our feast while chanting—Mom, we got this—sit down, relax and enjoy!

So here I am, sitting, relaxing and enjoying my family while wishing that all of us around the world could celebrate this holiday of Thanksgiving, together—patiently, peaceably and conscientiously by forgiving all transgressions perpetrated back and forth in the distant past ...
Ready—Set—Gobble Gobble!😊



If asked why my spirit awakens, each day, with sound reason to feel deeply blessed, most especially throughout this week-long event of giving thanks, most especially for family and close friends, my innermost smile would surely reply—there goes that font thing, challenging my patience by changing in size—Just kidding.  Now that font discrepancies fall under the heading of ‘small stuff’, my heightened level of patience remains intact, so having straightened our thinking caps (which, if you ask me, proves in need of doing much more often than you might believe) let’s refocus upon absorbing my real reply—It’s been my good fortune, every morning, to enjoy a trio of munchkins tiptoeing into our room where, upon climbing into bed between Gramma and Papa, my heart rejoices to see a giggly sense of mischief dancing in three lively pairs of eyes.  Yesterday, while I was resting, this dynamic trio could be seen sprawling at the foot of my king-sized bed taking turns describing each one's daring adventure through Out Of Africa where wild animals, such as lions, tigers and bears, roaming freely, were thoroughly enjoyed while Papa and Gramma were at the hospital, testing the strength of my kidney function’s capacity to withstand the first five-day, in-patient infusion of intensive chemo therapy, which will be administered, next week, through the port that is to be inserted within my chest on Friday morning while our three sons occupy our precious grandchildren, who plan to be leaping joyously from here to there throughout the indoor trampoline park not far from our house (as precipitation, which is predicted, will not rain on our parade), and now, so as not to stray too far ahead of our family’s mutual enjoyment of the luscious Thanksgiving feast, prepared for fifteen of our nearest and dearest primarily by Marie (flanked by Will and our three sons), suffice to say that every dish will be eagerly devoured by tall and small, followed by Ravi’s second sleepover, making this week-long family fun-fest feel even more special to two brothers and their cousin, whose love for each other proves happily palpable each time they're together.  And as today’s deeply reflective musings fly over so much that has been planned to be enjoyed, tomorrow and beyond (Ravi's fifth birthday party is hoping for sun on Saturday), I'm about to turn insight’s spotlight toward highlighting yet another family value as our clan grows ever more conscientiously aware of need for adults to consistently role model our children’s ever more mindful absorption of the concept of giving with generosity of spirit intact as, in keeping with our family’s annual tradition, on Friday, each grandchild will choose a toy at Target before heading over to our local fire station where Toys for Tots are collected, and once we're standing, face to face with the bravery of firemen, our family's heartfelt spirit of giving (rather than focusing solely upon receiving) will be further enhanced when our precious crop of children are encouraged to nourish their fledgling sense of generosity of spirit by surprising our courageous fire fighters with a yummy chocolate cake upon which this thoughtful sentiment is soon to be sealed and delivered:
Thank you for keeping us safe throughout the year.


And with today's musings clearly stated, let's raise our glasses while lifting our voices to wish each other a happy, healthy, deeply thankful L'Chaim!
