One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Stay Open to New Experiences

In the movie Love Jones , the male lead says, "romance is about the possibility of the thing." I agree with that. However, I think that the concept is more universal. life--truly living--is about the possibility of the thing. For a while, I was sleep walking through life, doing what was required without truly embracing it. Recent events have caused me to re-evaluate that and to embrace life and all of its limitless possibilities.   And romance, is about love. Over the past year I have become committed to falling back in love with my life. New relationships have made that love affair possible. And, I don't take them for granted.

Thoughts of Thanksgiving...

on

Thanksgiving is a special time. It involves family traditions of eating tasty food and coming together. Last year, my dear friend and her girls joined us from Texas. We showed them a Pittsburgh good time. I've included a photo of us (minus their mom who was napping) from Market Square with Santa.


Indeed, Market Square and the People's Holiday Market is one of my favorite Pittsburgh traditions. It is decorated like a European market and there are treats and sites to see. My sister and I took the girls on a walk through downtown and we even went up to Mount Washington to give them the best view of the city. Of course, they had to take the incline, which they thoroughly enjoyed.

As usual, Thanksgiving dinner included our family and other dear friends--all twenty plus of us. And we had all of our family favorites, mostly cooked by my mom. As the years go on, I am ever grateful to have her in my life healthy and sound. So, on this Thanksgiving eve, I have a grateful heart.  I am reflecting on Thanksgivings past and I am looking forward to tomorrow. 

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
