Thanksgiving is my holiday. I love everything about it. Yesterday was no exception. Lara and the kids and my parents and I sat down for the turkey, ham, stuffing, turnip, mashed potato, and green bean feast. There was a lot of pie. My belly was so happy last night! We also decorated our Christmas tree. I’m feeling very festive.

I also completed my first read-through of my NaNo novel, as well as all the edits, today. All in all, this holiday is already a winner! 🙂

Since we’re in the season of gratitude, I thought I’d keep the happiness going with today’s quotable quotes.

“Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.” ~ Joseph Campbell

“Champions in any field of endeavor always rise to the occasion. Champions see what they can become rather than live in the past. Champions view life as a self-fulfilling prophecy.” ~ Reed Markham

“Storms make trees make deeper roots.” ~ Dolly Parton

“But I don’t give up. I forget why not.” ~ Dorothy Parker

On that note, blessings to you all and NEVER give up!
