The snow is falling rapidly, coating everything at a steady and even rate. It is the day before Thanksgiving and I am thankful that I got everything that I need right here at home. It is quiet in the house, only the sound of steam coming up from the radiators is penetrating my ears.
Thomas is fast asleep on the couch, Richard is working at the studio and I am working on what little I have to do for my holiday prep in between playing games, reading and writing. It is going to be a quiet Thanksgiving this year, unless I get unexpected visitors.
My eldest son has to work and my middle son is punishing me. Still I remain hopeful that he may come to his senses it being a holiday and join us for the meal. He is stubborn, as his Dad told my youngest son a couple of weeks ago, of course he gets that from me, so I am not going to hold my breath. I can only hope that he finds some love in his heart and some hunger for Mom's Thanksgiving dinner!
I have so much to be Thankful for this year, as I do each and every year. My family, my health, a roof over my head and new and true love (not to be mistaken with what passed for true love during previous times in my life)
My children are healthy and I have a secret that I can't share (which the thought of puts me over the moon!) I hate to even count my blessings aloud for fear that they will somehow be taken away from me. Suffice it to say that I am blessed this year more than any of the previous years of my existence.
I am debating calling and making amends with my son, although I have done nothing to him personally. I understand his reasoning which is fear based (I assume.) although he would deny it. I feel responsible since I have taught him this behavior by the simple fact of my life and how I respond to things.
So many times during his life my family chose not to accept decisions in my life which led them to stop talking to me and me to them, so how could it not be normal for my son to do the same to me? I miss him very much however and can only pray that he will come to a different understanding than the one he currently possesses. I can only hope by some miracle that my stubborn boy will soften a bit. Here is hoping for that miracle!
I would like to extend the warmest of Thanksgiving love to you all and hope that you too have everything you need during this time.
