Thankful....but still wish I could eat some turkey!

Well it's Thanksgiving weekend here in Nova Scotia and I'm drinking Optifast. The fact that I live away from family and close friends is the only saving grace this weekend, and my neighbors are all away. Social media, on the other hand, has been hard. 

As much as I want to be happy for everybody who's enjoying time with their families and great food, it's also driving me completely crazy!!!!!

It's hard enough being away from family during holidays, at least I've always had food to enjoy and help me cope with it. Today I sit here patiently awaiting 4pm, so I can have my next shake, while Gary makes turkey soup. We decided there would be no turkey cooked here, so turkey soup is Gary's fix. The smell permeating through the house...I have to keep telling myself, "this is three months of your life, get over it!" 

So I will be thankful for the sense of smell, at least that's one thing I get to enjoy!
