It’s Thanksgiving Monday back in Canada today, and our little unit was lucky enough to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together last night in our new home.
Partially home-cooked, and partially NYC style, with cooked turkey and mashed potatoes courtesy of Whole Foods….
I was also thankful to have actually successfully chilled the bleep out for a day on a weekend at long last… I had the itchy feeling to check out one of the 86 fall festivals or new exhibit openings, or explore a new neighbourhood, or try a new restaurant for us….
But the kids had doctor’s appointments mid-way through the day on Sunday (kids need to have a doctor’s form signed when entering into the school system), and to reward them for having been poked twice, we took a nice leisurely stroll to the nearest coffee shop, treated them to a chocolatey browny cupcake mass, and enjoyed our treats at our waterfront park…
And that was it!
Finally, a happy glimpse into taking it easy. Exploring and mind-blowing will all happen. And now moments of calm, of giving thanks, of keeping things simple will hopefully happen on occasion as well…
