Serenity, Almost Thanksgiving, Family and Friends

So here it is almost Thanksgiving and it's a time to reflect on the year and what we are thankful for and what has brought serenity into our lives.

This year has been remarkable for me.  This year our daughter got married, our son found his focus, our home was renovated and I found that in my active life I can find my own focus, my own happiness and mine own strength.

The wedding went well no major issues, a beautiful bride, a beautiful venue, great food, fabulous music, a day filled with families both older and newer, friends from near and far and the day ended filled with joy.

Our son moved back to where he was raised, opened a studio, works for a top art gallery/auction house and lives with his 2 friends in a great house but most importantly he has found his focus and hopefully his serenity.

One of my goals for the past year was to complete the renovations on our home, redo the kitchen, our master bath and the upstairs floors.  Over the past 10 months these goals were tasked and this past week the last part was completed.  Now I have the serenity of a home that reflects me, provides me with comfort and aids in helping me maintain my serenity.

What am I thankful for - a beautiful family, friends that have my back, a happy home (most of the time) and relatively good health.

I am also thankful that I have strength and the ability to acknowledge my tough moments, my sad moments, and the ability to find my serenity in all my moments.

Be Thankful, Be Happy, Be Filled with Joy and Find your Serenity in this wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
