thankful for this, day 23: leftovers

i feel as though i ate too much.
passed the point of deep breaths.
passed the point of switching to sweatpants.
it's just so hard to walk away from 
honey-dipped ham,
sweet candied yams,
pie and rum cake and ice cream,
balanced with greens,
cheesy scalloped potatoes,
and stuffing and rolls and
the cranberry sauce of champions.
but then again,
i didn't eat breakfast the morning of
just to make sure there is room
to be super grateful for yesterday's feast.

surprisingly, there is food remaining
to divvy up for today and a few more days after.
there is no way there was enough dishes and desserts to feed
my family, my male cousins, extra friends and their parents.

what a miracle!
