THANKSGIVING DAY
Thanksgiving Day is observed each year in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. The observance is a time when families and friends gather and give thanks for many reasons, each often as different as each person who gathers around the table.
In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that many acknowledge today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. However, it wasn’t until 1863, amid the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.

@Tabatha_Cain I actually got the person I wanted for the exchange .I have all these brand new rustic lights. She is that person who does Xmas overload. She's also getting married next September. I was going to give her all the white lights anyway. It's A backyard wedding at their farm. I am at the age where I can let things go. I always say if I moved would I take this with me? Everything in my bedroom would go. All the other rooms it's like possibly half or less. Basement is like absolutely nothing. Hubs is a hoarder.
Today was a rough day for my parents. I resorted to a mug of cocoa to calm the sad emotions. My one co-worker lost her mom recently only 58. She was having a rough day. She informed me she was having wine, cocoa wasn't going to cut it.0 -
SO SORRY I POOFED! When I do that its either I am so busy with (right now helping to set up the winter challenge) or I am not well. It was a combo of both!! Not sure if I've updated the "latest" I found out last week, along with diastolic heart failure I now also have angina.
@Sweetpeasmom55, LOLOLOL OH MY!!! A WHAT steamer? Best laugh of the day!! Nice job on the rules for the work xmas. Oh, I should check into the stretching classes online offered by Silver Sneakers!! I can do them at home of course. TY TY TY for the idea!!!
I'm sorry that today was rough. My Mom passed when I was 32, my Dad I was 55, but I do miss them so much. More so on holidays, though I do not celebrate them now. I still miss them. Not many can say "If you could pick your parents again, would you pick the same ones?" YES YES YES!!! I SURE WOULD!! I am a great combination of them both.
@Tabatha_Cain, I hope today was very good!! Did you and Joe go out to eat or eat with others? I do not celebrate thanksgiving; I am thankful every day. I don't need a "special" day to be such. This AM I met with friends on zoom there were 9 to 12 of us at times, we were in and out. We got to laughing at times hard, in between any serious chat. That was fun!! After one of them called and chatted more!! It tired me out so badly zzzz. Later I went upstairs (high rise) to help a neighbor. Now that's giving hehehehehe!!
I'm also thinking of going into maintenance also! I've gone from 288 lbs to 179. I am feeling so much better with movement, but my body is not a happy camper. You have done AMAZING Tabatha!!
@Patti241, I've had vertigo and it's HORRIBLE!! Positional? Meaning that if you move into a comfier position, it is not as bad, or even goes away? I'm so sorry you are going through that. Did they give any meds for it? I did see an acupuncturist to help, and it did. My insurance did cover it because it was done by an MD. Many larger Dr offices have them now. WOW! I am so happy I tried that!
@sunshineyourway, did you enjoy the day? Was the weather nice enough? I live in Maine, but on the ocean along the southern coast we had RAIN ALL DAY right now there's a snow mixed in, but not sticking. Inland and up the coast a way they got snow. LOL Some as much as 6 to 10 "s.
