Giving Thanks

November 22nd, 2012

{A shot of the table from last weekend’s Friendsgiving with Rachel}

My husband and I typically travel the morning of Thanksgiving, waking up before dawn for the long drive towards San Francisco . This year though, we got to spend the days leading up to the holiday at home with my family and it’s been such a treat. The older I get, the more I’m able to appreciate my surroundings – to concentrate on what truly matters – time with family and friends, eating great food, and an entire day focused on gratitude and relaxation. Have a great holiday! x

    Thanksgiving is such a lovely holiday, sort of like a lead up to Christmas to get everyone in the jolly festive spirit. I wish we celebrated it here in Australia!
