When my kids were little, I used to love looking forward to Thanksgiving day morning. They would be up early, I would make them snuggle with me to watch the @macys Thanksgiving day parade and we would get into the holiday spirit. Now the kiddo’s are 13 and 10, and this morning feels so different. Dahl is sleeping in super late, Grey thinks the parade is lame@and wants to game, and I find myself this morning feeling all the feels of life changing. At 41, my own mom still calls me to come over and watch the parade with her, and cook....she’s always asked me since I have been an adult with my own kids. I would say no, and choose to be at home and snuggle with my babies. I now feel her sadness on how we grew up and the traditions ended as our lives and priorities changed. Ugh. I get it mom. 🥺❤️ So instead of feeling sad at home this morning, I drove to my favorite spot in Malibu @themindry for a morning filled with self-love practices, which included yoga, followed by a gratitude meditation. Then I went to @starbucks and treated myself to a delicious latte and I’m now headed home listening to Christmas hits. Although I feel sad, I am choosing to focus on all the things that are good. I am so grateful for so much this holiday. I couldn’t feel luckier actually. I choose to focus on what is going right instead of what is going wrong. Gratitude is the key to happiness. ✨ Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving and I am so grateful for this online community around me. Thank you for your love and support always. I feel it and appreciate it more than you know. 🙏🏼🫶🏻
