It can't be turkey day ALREADY!

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I wrote in this blog... time has really flown this month, between Katie's dance lessons (ballet & tap) and Patrick starting his new soccer team, along with my class, our days, and evenings have been filled! Our neighbors are even asking where we've been because they've bearly seen us. This Thanksgiving season has me reflecting on this year, and how quickly it has passed. When I was a child, I prayed for the days to move faster to get to this time of the year, and they crawled by. As an adult, I wish for slow, pleasant days, but they seem to pass quicker and quicker. My son says he can't wait to be 6, and I say over and over, "enjoy 5 - it will go by faster than you think"... I remember being told this as well, and I guess I didn't heed the advice either.
The first song on my playlist right now, really gets me into the Christmas mode, and I think I could listen to it all year long. I was really upset with the local radio stations this year, as they started playing Christmas music mid-November, and it was part of that "Don't rush things" attitude I have... let Halloween have it's time, then allow Thanksgiving to come and go before we start jumping into the Christmas season. But, whenever I hear this song, it moves me to tears. It's powerful emotion reminds me that this holyday season is about our Savior, Christ Jesus, and the celebration of his birth to this world, which gave us life. I pray for the safety and health of your family this Thanksgiving, have a wonderful day, eat plenty of bird, then get on the treadmill! Until Later.... - Bonnie
