“WAITING”—ONE WORD NOT WORTH USING!!!!

Good Morning Foodies!

As I began to write this story, I found myself saying, “Okay, I know you are “WAITING” for that BIG TURKEY DAY, coming up”. When I looked at that word, it made me pause for a moment! I dawned on me how much we use that word and just how much “WAITING” consumes our daily lives. I have decided it is not a very pleasant word most of the time. I know there is the exception, such as when you are waiting on some big event, like the birth of GRAND PEEP, but other than that, it comes across as being pretty negative.

“Stop WAITING for Friday; Stop WAITING for Summer Vacation; Stop WAITING for the Holidays- so you can take time off; Stop WAITING for Someone to Fall in Love with You; Stop WAITING for the Perfect Job; Stop WAITING for those test results—YOU GET MY DRIFT!

The bottom line is that HAPPINESS, is the most important thing in your life. HAPPINESS IS ACHIEVED WHEN YOU STOP WAITING FOR IT AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE MOMENT YOU ARE IN NOW!

I know that is a hard path to follow, but if we try everyday just to enjoy the moment and let that embrace us, you will find yourself not WAITING for anything. Actually, if that moment is so fulfilling, YOU WILL NOT WANT FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU THEN AND NOW!
TRY NOT TO WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember, I will not be posting again until Tuesday, November 28th.

For the first time, I will not be cooking for THANKSGIVING. All the females in our group, decided to go to NYC. The men go hunting. It will feel strange but will enjoy the moment.

I hope you all have a very fulfilling and satisfying THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY! Try to reach out to those who are less fortunate and alone during this festive time. SHARE YOUR HAPPINESS-DON’T KEEP ANYONE WAITING!

Have a great and productive holiday! Be safe in your travels and hug those around you!
