Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Beautiful Soul!  I hope your day has been filled with love.  I hope you were able to celebrate in the way that made you the happiest human being you could be.  I hope you have very much to be thankful for today.  I know I do.

I have SO many things to be grateful for today.  My freedom to choose how I want to celebrate is one of them.  I'm being a little bit of a rebel today.  Does that surprise you?   I'm not eating any turkey, or pumpkin pie either, no crowded house or contentious conversations will you find me in.  

Today was spent quietly at home, barely taking a peek at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  We're celebrating a birthday today and I'm making lots of texts full of well wishes to all of my friends and family, all from the comfort of my cozy living room.  It's nice.

I'm also fasting again, started yesterday, will finish tomorrow and I feel great!  Instead of pigging out on countless carbs and cakes and candy, I am resetting my gut again and giving my spiritual self a little lift.  It's very nice.  SO much better than a food coma, trust me.

And not to sound to special or high and mighty about doing this.  It's just something that feels right, so I am doing it, and it makes me feel good.  I would like to share some of that goodness with you, that's all.  So, I'll share my story, and I hope you will feel good too, inspired even, maybe.

Just returned from the park from a little walk with the dogs.  That was very nice too.  And there were lots of people out and about, and people seemed really happy, probably walking off all of their cake and turkey.  That is great!  And then came the running boys...

One boy raced by.  Pretty fast.  Wow, I remember those days, I said like some freaking old person.  I kept walking my dog.  I hear more footsteps.  Boy number 2 runs by.  Slower pace.  Much more reasonable for me to think about.  Still impressive for being out there in the first place, I think to myself.

What the hell.  If not now, when?  I tighten up the lead on my dog and I start running.  Jogging is really more the tune.  And I got a song in my head, so it helped me go.  My dog looked up at me like she didn't understand what was happening.  There is a reason for this.

I said, yeah Margeaux, we're gonna run.  This is fun.  Let's go.  Let's go.  And we did.  I did!  For only about a quarter mile, probably, but it was the end of our walk.  I finished.  I ran all the way to the self-imposed imaginary finish line, and I was so excited!  And I was singing all the way.  It's what kept me going.  Here is the song.  For you.  It's just a song.  It's got a good beat.  I can jog to it.  So, I did!

And I actually felt GREAT after my little run!  I was just so excited that I got off my ass and did it again.  It's the start of a whole new world, I'm telling you.  I'm grateful to be a part of that world.

And I am SO grateful for you.  Thank you for being here today to celebrate with me.  I sincerely hope you have so much to be thankful for too.  I really, really do.

And I hope my little stories inspire you to do your own amazing things today.  Simple.  Complicated.  Whatever lights you up.  Whatever makes you feel alive.  Go get it.  Go do it.  Don't ever regret it.  LIVE YOUR LIFE!  Be grateful for it...I'm sure you are.
