Happy Thanksgiving!

It's the night before Thanksgiving and what did we do? A lot.

I braved the grocery store with the kids trying to find everything for green bean casserole, Bronson finished up on last minute work, we went to Cubby's for dinner, then we came home and put the babes to bed.

After cleaning the house and preparing for our feast tomorrow, Mr. Christensen and I found ourselves in an impromptu gangsta ass, Weezy F Baby dance-a-thon. Hahaha...it was so funny.

I love nights like tonight.

Then it got me thinking....I thought about Thanksgiving and how it's actually tomorrow. Time has flown! I really cant believe it. And I start thinking of where I was a year ago from today...

The beginning of 2012 was probably the hardest time I've ever had personally. It took me completely losing my sense of self to find out who really I am. All the parts of me.

It was hard. It sucked a lot of the time, actually. There were things I didn't want to dive into, but I did. And I'm so glad I did.

I look at where I am today and I see how my whole entire world has changed. The people around me, the things around me, the places I go to… Those things-those people-those places, they haven't changed...but my feelings on them have. My feelings on myself have changed.

I opened my soul and my eyes this past year, and the biggest difference since doing so is my feeling of gratitude. The people in my life are so amazing...I have so much love and support all around me and my family. The opportunities we've had this year are endless it feels like! We have great health, a good home, food and water, and are happy. I see all these great things around me more clearly now and I am so grateful for it all.

So, maybe what I'm trying to say is that if you're not feeling 100% this holiday season, don't give up. One measly year can make all the difference in the world if you let it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

And if you didn't believe me about the thugged out dance-a-thon... Well, here ya go...
(ps....if you're easily offended by the B word, or have your babies in the room-don't watch this. Its Weezy-what can I say?)
