The big day is over.
Leftovers are eaten.
Family engaged in puzzles, card games, quiet talk.
Does life get any sweeter?
Today I am thankful for contentment; for evenings like this.
Worship music on the iPod.
Jeffrey laughing with his Dad.
Sloane watching old Jetsons episodes.
Beating his Mom at cards at least as often as she beats me.
I am thankful for family.
I am reminded of the joy that comes in small moments.
Of the comfort that comes with long familiarity.
Of the real pleasure to be found in old stories and inside jokes.
And there are so many more good days to come.

Sounds very good to me, my friend. Very good.
Quiet family times are definitely some of the best of times.
Sound wonderful! I think this holdiay WAS more about unity and enjoying the here and now more than ever and I wouldnt have it any other way.
I'm in to have a cup of tea, a friendly pat, a warm break here. Thank you.
That last sentance really got me, Relyn. Such a wonderful way to look at life. You are such a blessing.

Old Jetson reruns, leftovers and a clean kitchen and games to play with the family is my kind of relaxing.
You had me at family. Love the holidays for the bonding time only.
Oh, and the food. xoxo

Just some of what we are thankful for.
