Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are celebrating the day. My plans are…I have no plans. Well, other than having signed up for a workout class this morning {am I crazy?}, probably hitting up a favorite restaurant {gotta get in some kind of over-eating today!}, and relaxing {yet here I am doing work and catching up on emails}.
The truth is that I’m not a huge holiday person. Do I appreciate those days of the year and respect the fact that my friends and family want to celebrate them? Of course. Do I participate with them in every way I can? Sure. But since I’m away from home I feel it’s alright to just be, if that makes any sense. I will tell you that I am thankful for many things. Not just today because it’s Thanksgiving, but all the time. I’m definitely lucky to have loving family and friends. While the circumstance for my recent trip home to Hawaii wasn’t the best, I am glad I got to spend a couple of days with loved ones. I even got to meet my new nephew. How fortunate am I to have a job right now. A job that is fun with two super cool bosses who have turned in to a family away from home. I get to meet a lot of new people each day and when looking out my window at work, see people that make me smile. I am an entrepreneur and have the freedom to create. I have a roof over my head. I am in good health.
AND…Of course I am oh-so-very thankful for you. I appreciate that you stop on by to visit me day after day. That you send me kind emails and comments and continue to encourage me. Your kindness and excitement for handmade is what keeps me wanting to bring you more on Mixed Plate. I hope that you will enjoy your long holiday weekends, whatever way you choose to celebrate it. Mahalo.
Lots of Aloha…liana
ps – I’m hoping to eat one of these today…
