Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm down in Southern California with my uncle & grandparents this year.
It's my first west coast Thanksgiving!
And although I really miss being home with the rest of my family,
& the cozy, cold weather,
& our dog,
& seeing my friends...
Where I am today is not too shabby.
On my run this morning, I reflected on all that I am thankful for this year,
& to be honest... I'm a little overwhelmed.
Blessed is an understatement.
Here's my list, so I can look back on it in years to come...
1. My parents
I really don't know how I got lucky enough to get them as parents,
but I will never stop being grateful for the fact that I did.
2. Dylan
I love & miss her so much.
Her support these past few months has been unwavering,
& so appreciated.
She's just the best.
3. My sibs
All of them. Being their sister is such a privilege.
4. My job
It's stable, I can support myself, the company is fantastic,
& my co-workers are amazing.
5. My uncle
He's let me live with him for two months!
He should really be #1 this year ;)
6. New creative opportunities
My six months of job-hunting turned out to be an unexpected season of taking chances...
& people taking chances on me.
7. My health
Besides Celiac Disease, which is minor in the grand scheme of things, I am healthy.
To have an able, working body is something I'm so grateful for.
8. The good health of my family
Let's keep it that way :)
9. Personal growth
Mentally & emotionally, this year has been full of growth for me.
I am more secure about who I am more than ever before. It's a nice change.
10. A new place to live
I found an apartment! More on that soon.
11. All of you
I am so grateful for everyone who reads the blog--wherever you are in the world,
no matter who you are.
Thank you.
^^From my run.
Dinner is being served....so that's all for today.
More photos coming soon!
{& I'll tell ya about the gluten-free apple crisp I made, too. let's hope it's good!}
