Tab soon we will be celebrating Thanksgiving here inthe US. I was wondering has having Fibro changed how you celebrate Thanksgiving? I use to think I had to do it all and my way. Now I accept offers of help and don't get so uptight if things are not just what I think they should be. We even went out to eat Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. I still cooked a turkey with stuffing, but it was so we could have have turkey during the week.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I learned from hosting many get togethers to give up on the idea of a "perfect" time...there's always something that will be wrong or go wrong. You just have to stop and think, "Does it really matter?" So if the taters are burnt or a pie falls on the floor...oh well!
The cats'll clean it up! lol
this year with this vertigo I might have a hard time standing in the kitchen so my daughter offered to do it at her house.. we have always had it here but I guess time marches on...I do have mixed feelings about this.. but it is so tempting to just get up and get dressed and go.. She does also have a much larger formal dining room etc..If I feel well enough I will still bake..
Plus, she's grown up now and wants to share her independence with you! Don't disappoint her, as well as giving yourself a little break.
We take turns having it at one or another's house (My sister, brother and I, now) However, we used to all take our "dishes" to Papa's house and now we go to one another's house, but we sure do miss Papa. It doesn't seem the same. I am sure he and Mom are up there watching and knowing that they gave us the tools to go forward and live a good life. And, they gave us each other, so we wouldn't miss them so much when they are gone.
So, friends, appreciate and be thankful as I am for all of you!
HUGS!
If I don't finish everything-- big deal-- it can get saved for an Xmas party or my daughter's b-day. And if I'm having a flare while cooking, I pull up a chair next to the stove and next to my Grandma's. The best part isn't the food... it's the company anyway.
Maybe you should ask if any of them would like to host it. You never know. Maybe they think it's important for you to host it so their being quiet.
What ever happens, have a great day.
