Happy Thanksgiving week! This week is going to be full of fun and food and I couldn’t be any happier. I love food and those who have followed me on Instagram may have already figured that out because of all the food photos that I’ve shared. 🙂 And our family is going to celebrate a special occasion other than Thanksgiving this week and I am so looking forward to celebrating it with my most favorite people.
I also love sharing quotes on Instagram from time to time. I love reading quotes and I have my favorites quotes, not only for Thanksgiving but for quotes that fits in every season or occasion or my state of mind. That said, I thought of sharing my ten best Thanksgiving quotes today in random order.
