Twenty Turkeys....

While taking a break in between prep cooking for tomorrow, sitting in the sun overlooking our beautiful farm and it occurs to me that twenty years ago today I was also prep cooking for what was then my first shot at Thanksgiving dinner. I look back on that day and I have to laugh as there I stood, I myself fat as a turkey (I was pregnant at the time) chopping, slicing, dicing and really having no idea what I was doing but loving every minute of it. Somehow the turkey and all the trimmings turned out beautifully that year (thank you, Angels) and on the heels of that success I am now embarking on my 20th Thanksgiving feast. Twenty years of turkeys. That just amazes me. Just uttering that out loud sounds strange to me. And I sit here today, between prepping, slicing and dicing as I did so long ago, my thoughts floating around like leaves on a November breeze and you know what? It’s been a good run.  
In the past twenty years, I have loved and have been loved deeply. I have suffered losses that have scarred me. I have brought a beautiful shining soul into this world, and I have also danced with death. I have made many mistakes yet have had many triumphs. I have met the most wonderful people along the way and also the most heinously awful.  I have feared, hated, forgave and cried many tears of laughter, joy, sadness and pain. I have grown.
 Right here, right now, on my porch in the sun I know I wouldn’t change a thing. Not any of it.  Every path and experience I have encountered along this “Twenty Turkey Run” has led to this very blissful moment.  And as the memories flow though me, the good, the bad and the ugly, I am so very grateful. I am grateful to have truly experienced this magnificent, terrible, amazing, awful, joyous, painful, exciting, scary, loving, hating, gorgeous, beautiful life that I have not only lived, but have learned to embrace and I am very excited to see what my next twenty turkeys will bring.
