Today is Thanksgiving, and whatever the circumstances, political, cultural, or economic, we call upon the blessing in our lives, no matter how small, and give thanks. We also eat a lot of food. Typically.
I’m big on recognizing blessings, no matter how small. It keeps us honest, focused, humble, and appreciative, even when things sort-of, kind-of, suck (if or when they do). No one wants to think things can get worse, but they can. Recognizing what’s still good can give us the strength to work for better, whatever better means to each of us.
I give thanks every day in my own way for the blessings in my life and feast on the joy it brings regardless of the day’s circumstances, but it is not every day that there’s a big meal meant to help us focus on that, assuming we have the sense to do more than eat. But I do enjoy the feast.
I am a huge fan of turkey.
Thanksgiving turkey. I would say that it is my favorite thing on the table. But turkey tastes better with stuffing and mashed potatoes, all piled on a fork, covered in gravy, and there’s the rub. Those other things are good, too. Your friends or family likely include many dishes, some of which might be unique to your experience.
What’s your Fav!
It is early enough this morning that you’ll have started preparing that meal (perhaps as a continuation of the preparation you started yesterday) but not eating just yet. So, it seems appropriate to ask. Which Thanksgiving dinner dish is your favorite? And yes, dessert counts!
I’ve listed a few below but left the poll option open to add your own, so check back to see what else shows up (the poll ends at midnight).
You can vote as many times as you like, as often as you like, until the poll is as fat and happy. And feel free to elaborate in the comments if you are able. And remember to count your blessings and give thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving!
