Thanksgiving?
It sure is a day to Give Thanks for all that we have, and Everyone in
our lives.
Tradition usually dictates that we spend time with family, which can be
wonderful, but in some cases, can be a bit challenging. We pick our
friends, but not our family, and that can be the "rub".
If we anticipate a challenge with a family member, we can "Spin it and
win it" for the future.
We had Uncle Jack...at the dinner table, he would periodically give a
good lean to the side, and release any gas that was building up, and
continue eating like nothing happened. And then there was
Aunt Mary Pat...she usually got over served and passed out by mid
afternoon.
At first, everyone was appalled and upset, but after a while we just
took it in stride and actually enjoyed the shows...making side bets, on
how many times Uncle Jack would do it, and what time Aunt Mary Pat
would hit the floor.
So have a Happy Thanksgiving, and if you have to, "Spin it and Win it"
with any relative that you didn't pick.
None of us are around forever, but fond memories are.
Yours in "Just be Thankful" - Coach
