The idea that we hope that this time of year will be "better" resonates with me. Maybe this year I can remember to be as full of gratitude all the other days of the year. And remembering that this time of year is simply one part of the life we live and that we live it every day no matter the season. Hope you are enjoying yourself!

Now I just let the holidays form themselves...and whatever shape they take, that's okay. Hope you're having a lovely holiday. xoxo Although for decades it probably appeared that I was enjoying myself on holidays, I never truly was…until I learned to just LET GO…of any imagined perfect tableau I created in my mind…which of course only set me up for disappointment.

It might just be my perception but in Europe we seem to be a bit more chilled out about needing everything to be perfect, from the hostess to the meal to the perfect table setting. Cooking and decorating is fun if you take the expectation for perfection out of it; and guests NEVER care about perfection if they are in a home that makes them feel welcome and loved. As yours will do :) Happy Thanksgiving!
