The Purr-fect Fix
Hey there, beautiful ones! I hope this blog post finds you in good health and high spirits. Today, I’ve got a wild tale to share about an unexpected hero in my life – none other than my cat, Gracie. Let me give you a quick update on the shoulder saga that recently unfolded in my world.
Thanks to the advice of Natasha Taylor, a phenomenal physical therapist, and the unwavering support of my husband, I managed to navigate the rocky road of a shoulder mishap with surprising ease. The hospital was a no-go zone for me, so I decided to kick back, relax, and brainstorm creative ways to safely pop that pesky shoulder back into place.
And then, enter Gracie, the four-legged wonder. I’m sprawled across the bed, recovering from a stellar shoulder massage by my husband, when Gracie decides to perform an acrobatic leap over my head. My initial flinch, thinking she might accidentally bonk my shoulder, turned into sheer amazement as, miraculously, my shoulder popped back into place. Yes, you read that right – my cat, the unsung hero of my shoulder woes!
Now, for those of you wondering how in the world a cat can perform such a feat, join the club. I’m just as baffled as you are, but one thing’s for sure – Gracie has earned herself a prime spot in my heart, right alongside Natasha and my hubby.
Non-Negotiable Delights
The fix came just in time too! As many of you know, Thanksgiving is upon us here in the US. While I may not be the biggest celebrator of holidays, my family has a few demands that I simply can’t ignore – especially when it comes to the this time if year.
First on the list is the legendary Mac & Cheese, a dish so revered that my adult children would revolt if it didn’t grace the table. Little do they know, my husband has seamlessly taken over the Mac & Cheese duties and, dare I say it, perfected the art. I like to think of him as my Mac & Cheese apprentice turned master.
Next up are the vegan Candied Yams. As I transitioned into a vegan lifestyle, I tweaked this classic dish, and you know what? My family can’t tell the difference. It’s a win-win – a taste of tradition without compromising my values.
Last but certainly not least, the pièce de résistance: Sweet Potato Cheese Pie. This delectable creation has become a year-round favorite among family and friends, but this is the time, it’s a non-negotiable. Without fail, my phone rings, and there’s a collective chorus of my children demanding to know if the pie is on the menu. Spoiler alert: It always is.
Gratitude, and a Whole Lotta Love
Whether you’re knee-deep in Thanksgiving festivities or simply enjoying a regular day, I want to take a moment to remind you to savor the love around you. Today and any other day, for me, isn’t just about the food; it’s about sharing a meal made with love, whether it’s Mac & Cheese, Candied Yams, or Sweet Potato Cheese Pie.
To all of you, my beautiful souls, I believe in you. Whether you celebrate or not, may your day be filled with warmth, laughter, and the company of those you hold close to your heart. And always remember, as I sign off with a virtual blue heart emoji – I love you. 💙
