At The Feathered Nest Thanksgiving is the most eagerly anticipated holiday of the year.  It is easy to understand why. Thanksgiving is a holiday that centers, largely, around food. For a culinary enthusiast like myself, it is a chance to have fun and show off a bit.  However, there is another component of the day even more essential than a golden, glistening bird and stack of creamy mashed potatoes.  That component is embedded in the very name of the day. Today is the day we all give thanks for the many wonders of our lives.

I truly lead a charmed existence and I try never to take that for granted.  Were I to list all those things I am thankful for this blog post would read like War and Peace so I will try to keep it simple. I am thankful for family,friends, fur balls, and food. I am thankful for my husband and home.  I am thankful for a job that is rewarding and that I have never known want.  I am thankful for music, laughter, color, and whimsy. I am thankful for you, for taking a moment and reading my musings.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
