Happy New Year!

Hey 2020! Nice to meet you!

I’ve thought about this post for a few days now, and unfortunately I’ve just written myself in circles. It should be inspirational, right? Motivational? Probably. But how many times can we read “New Year, New You” before we get numb to it? Today, by chance the sandwich shop I often work from was closed, so I’ve set up shop down the street at Starbucks. So picture it with me- me sitting at a high top, smelling the strong aroma of coffee, staring into space about what to talk to you all about. It should be relevant, real, honest and maybe even funny. I’ve got nothing. And then, I look to my left. They have a whole sticky note wall of motivational quotes written by customers. Its so beautiful seeing all of the different handwriting and motivating words. For whatever reason, this wall of thoughtful mantras seemed to pack more of a punch for me seeing it written. It was like seeing it in someone’s own handwriting made it feel more genuine.

Thanksgiving is, has been, and will always be MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY. There is no stress of finding the perfect gift or getting the decorations up with enough time to enjoy them, just good ‘ol eating, drinking, and laughing. That to me is what Thanksgiving is all about. Enjoying food, family and friends.
