Over the thanksgiving holiday , A lot of my family gathered together to enjoy a lot of good food. We all greeted each other with open arms and kisses. It was very loving. We embraced each other instead of ignoring "the body". Throughout the meal we had conversations with each other. It was a very comfortable setting. Sitting around the table then making our way to the couches, where some of my family members fell asleep. We enjoyed each others company and playing games together like the wii and pool. So after we ate some of us went into my uncle's game room, where we where moving our bodies instead of crashing on the couch. There was also some dancing going on. So it wasn't about neglecting our bodies. But rather living in the moment and being fully present with our bodies and minds.
On thanksgiving family members were thankful for a year of good health and for being able to be together. There was a lot of feasting going on since everyone made different dishes to eat. We all ate a lot. It was all about the food. We all ate more than we should have. It's one of those days of the year when I feel it's okay to eat till you can't walk.
Family members got up for second helpings and felt "stuffed" after eating so much. There were a lot of comments made on how good the food was and being careful of eating too much. Even after everyone had second helpings there was still a lot of food left over. Which everyone ended up taking some home because there was just too much and no place to store it all.
