im spending this day away from my family. minus all of my traditions i grew up with. i watched the macy's parade from a lonely cold hotel room by myself. there aren't smells of bubble cake wafting through the air. there was no turkey trot run this morning with dad. there will be no helping cut up veggies for stuffing or putting the marshmallows on the yams for me. there will be no organizing of a family photo. no, traditions are once again out the window this year. i have to remind myself that this is only temporary and that one day i will be able to continue these traditions in my own home with my family. until then, this will have to make due.
don't get me wrong, im not complaining. not one bit. i am well aware that i am doing what so many girls would kill to do. i am living my dream. i am doing what i love. i am performing and spreading christmas cheer. i am touching hearts and lives.
i am thankful to be doing what i love around the holidays. but i sure do miss home and my loved ones.
enjoy this holiday everyone. happy thanksgiving :)
