Went to bed early last night with body aches. Woke up this morning with a stiff neck and a sore throat. But, I promised a seafood brunch to start the holiday for my family. My niece, Taina Torres is providing the turkey -- so Im cooking my part now and Im having a glass of Barefoot Moscato (you know I generally drink wine while cooking). Im feeling reflective, not sad but I am a little teary. Weve had a really tough time recently and I am so, so grateful for all the love and support we got from you all. That is what makes me want to cry. I especially want to mention that both my daughter, Mari Imaginthat and my niece went above and beyond their duty (is that the right word?) in supporting me while I was in Puerto Rico after my brothers death. My friends and co-workers were awesome; my neighbors in my building rallied around me. I am so very lucky! In addition, its my baby boys 13th birthday is tomorrow -- how did that happen?? --and the idea of seeing a smile on that beautiful face alone gives me the drive to do as I promised. I can give in to whatever it is thats ailing me over the weekend. No one is promised tomorrow. So with that being said, I hope and pray that we put aside all the political bs for a little while and really spend some quality time with the people we love. Have conversations. Put away the electronics and talk about your dreams. Let them know they are loved and appreciated. Again, happy Thanksgiving. I appreciate you all and I am grateful!
