In many households, frazzled Thanksgiving cooks (Grandma comes to mind) put out a relish tray to keep hungry but idle hands out of the kitchen. These trays are loaded with goodies, each tucked into its own compartment: pimento-stuffed green olives, whole black olives little ones canstick on their fingertips before eating, radishes, celery stuffed with peanut butter or cream cheese, carrot sticks, equal portions of two kinds of pickles (sweet and dill) so there’s no fighting….
Here’s our recipe for a Thanksgiving relish tray:
A spoonful of Mindfulness
A dollop of Awareness
Equal portions of Family Dynamics and Deep Breaths
Lots of little Inner Smiles
A heaping portion of Blessings
Serve on a platter of Gratitude and Love

Thanks Brook; and although we Canadians have celebrated our Thanksgiving already, this is exactly what I needed right now in my journey to my consciously fit and healthy vessel I call a body. As I am mindful of only real food that is feeding my body every day, I get closer to a state of perfect health for me. I wish you the happiest of holidays with your family, and I’m especially thankful for YOU in my life. Laura
Laura, Thanks so much for your comment. I somehow missed it, so I wanted to respond even if it’s a couple weeks later! I wish YOU the very best and the very best for healthy vessel, too!
