It's Black Friday - the busiest shopping day of the holiday season. I am proud to say that I was not one of those loonies up at 4 a.m. waiting for the stores to open. Don't get me wrong, I like to shop for my loved ones (and myself) during the holidays, but I don't feel the need to cram myself into an overflowing store, get stampeded by sale-crazed people and wait in line forever.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I started this holiday off with an 8K run called the Turkey Trot out at Lake Hefner. The weather was cool, but not windy which translates into a perfect day to run. I was happy with my time which was 44:53 (chip time) and/or 45:20 (official time). I would've been a little faster, but my first mile was spent weaving in and out of walkers or slow joggers. We went to my mom's house for the big meal. My sister and one of her kids were there. I tried out a new dessert recipe given to me by one of the girls I work with at the YMCA. It was a sopapilla cheesecake - YUM!!! It was awesome! After eating way too much, Scott and I crashed and bid the kids a good night (at 6:30 p.m.). Yes, we know . . .
As the holidays are now underway - try to remember the reason for the holidays and keep a level-headed perspective. It is not about the sales, the stores, etc. It is about our faith, our family and friends.
