Well, there is no Thanksgiving holiday in Hungary. So, on Thursday, while friends and family in the states surround tables filled with turkey and stuffing and green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie we will be having a regular day. My mouth is watering!
But, tonight we began something that I hope becomes a tradition for the two of us. We sat at our table for two just behind our living room sofa, eating a delicious meal of rice and chicken with an amazing peanut satay sauce that Dennis prepared. With Christmas music playing in the background, we took time during our meal to share five things we are thankful for. It was Dennis' idea that we take time each day this week to share five reasons to be thankful.
And so tonight, we began our list. There was something lovely and meaningful about that. It ended up being our entire conversation during the meal. We would elaborate a bit on each one, affirming and confirming each others thoughts. Our five things were quite simple, really, but so meaningful for the two of us. A few even brought tears to our eyes. Little things, but they seemed so significant.
Tomorrow is yet another day to consider five things. My heart is lighter tonight. All because of thankfulness.

Yes, yes! Gratitude is a wonder...pretty amazing the lightness it brings.
I like this post and am very curious as to what was on your "list" tonight.
