Ramble for November 20, 2007

z


Today I was thinking about things that I am thankful for and also what the word beautiful is to me. I was thinking about these things because I think that Thanksgiving itself is more than just a day to engorge ourselves on food and take a nap. It is a day that we all can in a very simple, pure and beautiful way remember and talk about all the people we are thankful for and what they have done to our lives that commemorates that thanks. Whether it is remembering a loved one by cooking their favorite recipe or even just straight remembering someone who did something that meant a lot to you.
I always remember my gram during the Holidays, she was like a mom to me when I was growing up. I remember how she cooked everything and when I do it the same way or make it "new" by twisting it a little I think of how she might like it. I am thankful that I had her around in my life when I did because she taught what it means to be a good mom and to love someone unconditionally. I am thankful for this when I do things with my two kids because I think of how she was always trying to be patient and kind.
Beautiful to me does not mean the most extravagant thing. To me beautiful is simple and pure. I don't like oppulence or extravagance and I don't think it's necessary for beauty. I think when I nurse my daughter that I am doing something beautiful. I am told by my man that I look beautiful at any given time, in the morning when my hair is on end and I have sleep in my eyes or when I am dressd up and in between times too. I think beautiful can be an emotional thing too. When I see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, or the night sky on a summer night. Those are all beautiful things to me.
