MyTurn/YourTurn: Thanksgiving Foods
MyTurn: It has become tradition for the Thanksgiving meal that my mom prepares to be very non-traditional. Since there are some foods that I normally associate with “home” that I don’t have any place else, the best way for us to give thanks and celebrate is to have those foods! You can read all about it here.
YourTurn:
1. What are you most looking forward to on your Thanksgiving plate this year?
2. Do you have any “non-traditional” Thanksgiving traditions?

About This Blog
In Thornton Wilder’s play Our Town, the central character dies an early death. Emily is given the chance to revisit a day of her life and is advised by those in the afterlife to pick an ordinary day, warning her that she might be overcome otherwise. Still, Emily is overwhelmed with emotion as she recognizes how wonderful the everyday details of her existence were. Her daily routine takes on new significance now that it is gone. Through her tears, she asks:
Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it– every, every minute?
With this blog, I am trying to fully “realize” my life by documenting the things that I love. I want to appreciate and examine my past and present, as well as plan actively for the future.
I hope to accentuate the positive in my life and in the world around me, with the hope that by focusing on the positive, I will draw more positive elements into my life. Or, at least, realize all of the blessings that I do have.

Our non-traditional holiday is actually our tradition. For many years now we have our Thanksgiving on the Saturday after the regular Thursday holiday. That way we can visit the in-laws on the traditional day and not rush off to a second huge meal. So, on Nov. 24, we’ll be eating our turkey, filling, Cope’s corn, Nana’s cranberry sauce, and other goodies. Yummmmmmmmmmm!
