Traditions.... my family doesn't have too many of them. Just little things here and there. Like having my moms whole side of the family over for dinner on Thanksgiving or opening one present on Christmas Eve. But since I've moved out and grown up a bit I've noticed the changes a bit more. We went out to eat this Thanksgiving, instead of having all the family over, due to scheduling difficulties. And at first it got me a little down. Change seemed to be a reoccurring element in my life since the day I graduated high school, and to have things at home be different than they were in the past almost seemed unstable. When what I needed at this time was the stability.
But, I realized that it wasn't the traditions that were the comforting part of the holidays, its the being together. I looked at all those families at the restaurant sharing Thanksgiving with us, with their smiles and laughter. They were all happy just being together.
Things in life are going to change... they always do. We just have to enjoy the time we have and live it up.
Love Always,
