Happy Gobble Gobble everyone!  I hope everyone is having, or has had, a wonderful day today. Even if we can’t be with the people we would normally share this day with, it’s still a good time to reflect and remind ourselves of what we are grateful for. I was fortunate to spend a little time with my parents for lunch today, and my mom, as usual, had us all laughing at the strangest things. Being sheltered in place does odd things to people! My daughter ran around like a chicken with her head cut off and my mom kept shouting Happy Halloween! The laughter was good, because this morning I was reflecting on the memories of people and animals that I lost this year, and bringing myself down to a very teary place. But I believe that the people I did lose this year would want me to be happy. I believe my darling Havanese dogs would want me to remember them and be happy for the time with them, not be a sobbing mess. So I was grateful for my mom’s craziness and my daughter’s near lunacy. Sometimes it’s just the little things that make me realize that despite all the not so good things happening in the world, many more good things are happening if I just take the time to look for them.

Wherever you are and whoever you are with, please remember that you matter and that you are loved.

XOXO,

Missy
