Thanksgiving Vegan Eve November 25, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — Leslie Clark, The Imperfect Vegan @ 6:22 pm

Ok it’s almost here.  Thanksgiving that is.  I think it’s going to be just fine.  Could it be just as simple as  re-framing what the holidays are really all about?

To be honest some years I’m more excited by the food than anything else, but this year my intent is to make it all about the people I’m sharing the day with and the many, MANY, blessings in our lives.  The amount of time we actually spend eating is greatly overshadowed by story telling, laughter, games, and hot tubbing.  The idea is to stay focused on what I DO have vs. what I don’t get to eat.   I wish I could say that meat no longer tempts me and that cheese is long forgotten but that would be a lie.  Every day at every meal I make my choice to stay vegan or not to stay vegan.    It is getting easier, but it’s not handled yet. I’m still vegan at least 90% of the time which continues to make me proud.  By next year this time I aim to claim 100%.  What about you?

Many blessing to you and yours!
