Being Thankful

 This is a late Thanksgiving post, but I have a lot to be thankful for.  

And, when I think of it, I didn't think that I did before Thanksgiving.  But sometimes you just need a wake-up call, and I feel like I got one, by getting into a bike accident. 

 

 

There's nothing like a near serious moment to make you remember what's important.  It could have been a lot worse, thankfully it was most minor cuts and bruises and a ripped grocery bag..

• I'm thankful for Alex, who always puts a smile on my face, and is my support when I need it.  Also we make lots of fun meals and laugh together!
• I'm thankful for close friends like Liz and Alexia and Sarah who add sunshine to my life and are a great support network
• I'm thankful I'm healthy, I have a roof over my head, my family is well
• I'm so, so lucky to have such a good circle around me.  It's something more than I could ever expect as an adult
• I'm happy I have friends all over the world...people I think about and care about all the time. 

 

Although not every year feels like it has everything in it, I'm still glad this year has been, in it's own way, one with more ups than downs.
