Serenity & Thanksgiving - ENJOY!

So tonight is the first night of Hanukkah and tomorrow is Thanksgiving, a time for family, feasting, football and feeling content.

I am lucky that I don't have to prepare Thanksgiving dinner, instead I do Friday night with my family and my extended family.  In the past these large family get togethers have sometimes made me nuts, according to my daughter I go into "bitch" status, but this year I choose not to make myself nuts.

I know that my children do not believe this is possible but I am fairly sure that I can maintain calmness thanks to my ability to locate serenity in crazy situations.

I have taken this attitude with all things in my life including my marriage, my family, my friends, colleagues and the search for employment.  It has brought me contentment and sometimes happiness.

I find that if I can't fix the problem, it's better to let it go, perhaps the solution will come at a later time, if at all, some problems just can't be solved.  Up to the last few months I had a hard time believing that all problems can't be solved, but now I see that somethings are just not worth the time or effort and I just put them aside.  It has helped me find the happy place in life.

So here's to Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, Family, Friends and Food.

Enjoy, be happy and find serenity in all that surrounds you.
