Rest Required

Good morning family and Happy Thanksgiving. We've been planning and getting ready for this day for the last few weeks, can't believe it's finally here. So many things to be thankful for but the main thing is I'm thankful for my life and yours. Yesterday I left work with the goal of starting my cooking last night, at least getting the baking out of the way. When I got home, I know longer had the desire or energy to start. I looked around the kitchen and decided it wasn't going to happen. Sometimes we have to allow our plans to change and not do things just because others are expecting it. Most women I know stress about getting things done on time or having the resources to do the things they want or need to do. What I've found is, that if I make up my mind about something I shouldn't feel guilty about it. If I'm unable to meet a deadline or complete a task, I should accept it and regroup. There are days that all we need is a good nap or a good night sleep in order to move forward. We become cranky and irritable when we don't allow our bodies and minds to rest. So guess what I did instead of cooking last night, I went to bed. I am better for it and my dinner is almost done. So shout out to all my women friends who stayed up late last night or got up early this morning. I'm sure our dinners will be great and I'm thankful that God has provided. Lastly, I'm so thankful for my hometown, Vernon TX. I learned so many lessons there and one of the best things I experienced was good cooking. Remembering the flavors and smells as we visited different homes during the holidays is what keeps me cooking. Never forgetting the smell of home. TeamRestRequired.
