I hope everyone is having a safe and socially distanced holiday. I also hope that amid a holiday that’s unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before that we are taking the time to think about all that we have to grateful for.
My family was never that family that went around the table and said one thing we were thankful for. Thanksgiving dinners usually consisted of about 50-80 people packed into my grandma’s house (depending on if that Cowboys were playing the Washington Football Team 😒). This year things will definitely look a little different, and I’m still grateful. I’ll be working on Thanksgiving, but I get to go to work knowing that my family is alive and well. A lot of people can’t/won’t be able to say that this year.
I think that every person who sits around your socially distanced Thanksgiving table is something to be grateful for. And for those of you like me who won’t get to sit around a Thanksgiving table because of work or because you don’t want to put other family members at risk, still, be grateful. You’re alive – it’s just that simple.
Love you all. XOXO,
Ash, RN
P.S. – there’s always next year 😉
