Thank you so much for the encouragement and for the peek at my blog. It's nice to know I'm not the only one having trouble with the constant comparisons. I know the old saying about not comparing your insides to other people's outsides but I don't know how not to do it. And we're just taught (I think especially women?) to believe that certain things will make us happy - husband, children, home owning, etc. And when I don't have any of those, it feels like there's no possibility for happiness.

Thanks for giving me an(other) outlet for expressing my worries. I'm hoping that my blog also does that for me, as I try to work stuff out in my head!

Broken Saints,
I came over and took a peek at your blog - hugs to you. Our society is so focused on what we have and we're trained to always compare ourselves to others - and we'll always come up short in some way. Always will. It's hard to see the things we have to be thankful for but they're there. They really are. :)

Wow - thank you for this. Thanksgiving was hard f...

Wow - thank you for this. Thanksgiving was hard for me (as posted on my blog (http://www.brokensaints.wordpress.com) as I am going through a lot of loneliness and envy. But I do, indeed have a lot to be thankful for. It's just so hard to see sometimes.

Jen,
It was a very happy time. We even had a turkey pinata! I'm so glad you had a wonderful time with your family. It sounds lovely! :)

Jameil,
Yes, girl! Ketchup and rice. Looking at it always makes me feel a lil nauseous, but it works for him. As far as the 6 am, you know that haze you're in when you're sleeping real good and someone tries to wake you up and you positively want a rock to fall on them and knock them out? I was feeling that at first but he is pretty darn cute and sweet with his thankfulness, so I gave him a pass!

Nick,
Thank you! It was really lovely and I had such a good time. I wouldn't have noticed if there were dustbunnies at all!

Valeries World
Thank you! Hope yours was wonderful, too.

Remnants,
He was VERY excited and wow, he had a ball yesterday. :)

April,
Sooo nice. At the end of the day I could only smile over how wonderful it all was! :) Hope you had a great holiday as well!

Ketchup & rice interesting.

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, Liz. The kids are right - these occasions are about having fun with your family and friends, all the other things are secondary. Who really cares if there's a few dustbunnies in the corners?
