How am I preparing? Well, not as well as Mark is.
See I wasn't the person I wanted to be these last two days and I'm not sure why. I was short-tempered, very weepy, and angry with myself.
After my brief pity party last night, I simply stopped, looked at Mark and said "I need to snap out of this, I have so much to be Thankful for".
Tonight at yoga during meditation I began to think about the people in my life and as I would think about each one I would say to myself "I am thankful for you because....." and I would fill in the blank for the person I was thinking of.
Mark has a plan for the holidays. See after his stroke, he has a hard time in crowds and places where there is multiple conversations going on. He has a real hard time. His family Christmas is the hardest. There are over 30 people. We try to be one of the last people there, enjoy the time and leave when he needs to. If he has a problem, he knows the places he can go to get away. Past that, we keep things pretty quiet. I'm an only child, so our Christmas isn't as busy. It's my mom and dad, us, Nate, Paige and Jared.
Keep being thankful, make a plan, and do the things you enjoy.
Happy Thanksgiving and #Findyourjoy
