Tell Her Your Way

A man wanted to show his love to his girlfriend in a unique way. So, he decided to write her a song. After days of hard work, he finally performed it for her. The song was off-key and the lyrics were all mixed up. Embarrassed, he said, “I guess I’m better at expressing my love in ‘silent’ mode!” She laughed and replied, “Don’t worry, your love is loud and clear, even if your singing isn’t!”

Thankful Thanksgiving

Once upon a November, in a cozy home filled with warmth and laughter, a family gathered around a bountiful Thanksgiving table. The room was alive with the clinking of dishes and the aroma of a feast: golden-roasted turkey, creamy mashed potatoes, and a kaleidoscope of other delightful dishes.

As they settled down, each family member shared a story, a memory, or a joke, weaving a tapestry of joy and camaraderie. The laughter was infectious, the smiles wide, as they passed around the dishes, each helping themselves and others.

After the meal, they cleared the table together, a symphony of clattering plates and shared responsibilities. Then came an anticipated part of the evening, the thankful time. Each person, from the youngest to the oldest, shared something they were thankful for. Some spoke of simple joys, others of profound life events, but all spoke from the heart.

This time, a tradition etched in their hearts, was more than just a pastime. It was a reminder of the beauty in their lives, the bonds they shared, and the fleeting nature of these precious moments.

As the night drew to a close, they felt a deep sense of contentment and gratitude, not just for the delicious food or the fun they had, but for each other’s presence. They realized that these moments, these simple joys of togetherness, were what life was truly about. The laughter, the stories, and the expressions of gratitude weren’t just part of their Thanksgiving tradition; they were the threads that wove their family closer together.

As they said their goodnights, there was a unanimous feeling of anticipation for next year’s Thanksgiving. It wasn’t just a holiday; it had become a cherished rendezvous for their hearts and souls. And as each member of the family drifted off to sleep that night, they carried with them the warmth and love of a day spent in gratitude and joy, a reminder of the many blessings life had to offer.
