Having the time to get together and catch up with close friends and family is the best thing about the holidays. Far too often we're swept up in the busy-ness of life, time with our loved ones often ends up being relegated to quick phone calls and hurried meetings. Holidays remind us to take a moment to pause and look around us, to be thoughtful and thankful.

the happy laughs and hugs that follow...
Having the time to catch up, relax and reconnect. Sharing secret thoughts and wishes.
A toast - to life, love and happy occasions!

And of course, posing (often begrudgingly) for those family photos that capture all those moments and make you smile to look back on.

To all my American friends, hope you have the most wonderful Thanksgiving!
