Struggle Well School

#263: Problem Solved - Thanksgiving 2020


Listen Later

Thanksgiving might not go the way you want. This whole year hasn’t gone as planned. Let’s struggle well this Thanksgiving by blessing our mother-in-laws and our difficult cousins and our rude grandpas by JUST being happy to be there. Or maybe you are skipping Thanksgiving this year or turning it on it’s head and ordering Domino’s. Struggle well through that! 

Consider yourself challenged, friend. In response to every Thanksgiving decision or plan change or food mishap; have a perspective shift towards grace. Practice in the mirror responding “That’s perfect“ to anything that you think might be coming your way. Let’s make it a year to remember!

  • Emily’s mother-in-law thinks everything she does is “just perfect”

  • Does anyone even like turkey?
  • Katie’s in-law turkey noodle tradition
  • Rebecky has been challenged to make a turkey this year
  • Permission has been granted to veer from traditional food + decorate for Christmas
  • Our favorite desserts: apple pie, sweet potato pie and sweet potato casserole
  • Solving the problem: cousin awkwardness at the holidays with a phone jail
  • Blessing your mother-in-law with a perspective shift
  • Random problem solved for a listener on kids watching scary movies
