Anyone have a Nice Thanksgiving?

My Thanksgiving was very nice with my son's and families. The food was awesome and the company, warm and loving. Everything was great until the music started...Garth Brooks "The Dance". I sucked up the tears, bid my farewell and sobbed all the way home. I pretended that it was no big deal because I don't want to upset anyone by being emotional. It's just that certain songs bring back memories of slow dances and warm embraces. Just too much to handle right now. I did however resist the urge to call "him". That would NOT have been good.
I hope that others here had a decent holiday with family or loved ones. XOXO

I know how you feel. I am dating someone and he had on some music last week and the song that played at my wedding (our first dance) came on. I sobbed uncontrollably! Fortunately, the man I am dating is an angel from heaven. But, I know what you are feeling. I have cried so many times, and it's not like I want the ex back. HE's and ABUSER. It's still not easy. I guess it just takes lots of time.

Oh, I'm sooo glad that others here on DS were able to have a nice holiday regardless of our struggles. We're a very special group of individuals. Been tested by fire and still fighting for peace in this life.
Love you all...Netti

Hi Netti, I had a good thanksgiving also. I can certainly understand about the song. I use to have this George Strait song that I just couldn't listen too because it reminded me to much of my last 3 divorces and would make me cry. Everytime it would come on I'd just cut it off. Finally, I can listen to it now. I really like Garth also. I have most of his albums. Have good holidays - Kat

    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...
