Happy Thanksgiving Break, y’all! 🧡💛 Ideally, I would spend the next several days locked in a room with these books I’d love to read (but won’t be able to) before the end of the year. I’ve been feeling a little worn down and spread thin lately. I hate that sometimes I give so much of myself to other people that I don’t feel like I have enough to give to myself and those closest to me. I don’t like when I waste my energy on the little annoying moments that don’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things and instead wish I could spend every night goofing off and giggling with my boys then shooting down the road to vent and share a bottle of wine with my best friend.

I love Thanksgiving. I love celebrating the things we’re grateful for by stuffing our bellies with amazing food and getting wine drunk with people I love so dearly it makes my heart hurt. I wish we could live every day like that. I wish we didn’t wait until one day late in November to list all the things we’re thankful for.

I love that I get this time off work to recharge and regroup and I really love that I get to share this time with so many new book besties that I didn’t know this time last year. I’m thankful for books and this community and the fact that I have a tiny space of the internet where I can put my jumbled words that don’t make sense but somehow y’all will understand and love me anyway even if you don’t.
