“Don’t wait until the fourth Thursday in November to sit with family and friends to give thanks. Make every day a day of Thanksgiving!” ~ Charmaine J. Forde
Hey all! ,
and Hello November, the month of gratitude and anticipation for all that is truly good in our lives.
This is really just a quick little newsletter, where I’d like to express my gratitude and appreciation for YOU, my “friends”.
I’ve been writing/blogging for almost three years now, with the determination of one who KNOWS there are people “out there somewhere” in this Social Media world we live in.
One of those “people”/persons is a fellow blogger/lifestyle creator, Michelle, the owner of @vintagehomedesigns. I chose her photo , above, as an introduction to Thanksgiving, and November as well. This is very much how I decorate for all occasions, with simple, found items, or what I already have on hand. I believe that a simple table, creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere when you host friends or family on any occasion.
I believe she agrees, based on the works she has created. She is one to follow, if Hospitality and Decor is an area you love….as long as you follow me too!!! Ha!
So, besides Thanksgiving and great football games, what will you spend your time doing this month? Enjoying November, or using it to prepare for December?
I’m not judging…that’s a common answer.
Personally, I love Thanksgiving, it is truly my favorite holiday, to host, to cook and decorate for, and to attend when given the opportunity.
Are you cooking a turkey?
Or are you watching parades and ordering in?
This year, we’ll be heading to Florida, to spend Thanksgiving with my children and grandchildren. We’ve enjoyed this holiday together for the past few years, and naturally, we look so forward to it.
Yes, it’s Florida, NO, it is not warm. No sunburns or tan lines as mementos.
Note: The Christmas trees go up before we leave, or at least that is the plan…
I, for one, really like to soak it all in, one holiday at a time, besides, my “fresh” garland would be dried needles if I put them up early!!
Enjoy your new month/not so new now, of November!
Blessings to you,
xx,
