Being thankful

On Thanksgiving, my parents, Perri and I usually like to go around the table on Thanksgiving and say what we're thankful for. We forgot to do it at the meal, so we ended up doing it in the car on the way to the outlet mall late Thursday evening. It was informal and candid and I think we were all a bit teary-eyed.

I am first and foremost thankful for the three of them and for all that we have.

I am thankful that my parents always made sure Perri and I know how lucky we are not and never to take any of it for granted.

I am thankful that I met a wonderful man this year. I've never been so happy.

I am thankful for my girlfriends, extended family, and for the support system I have outside the confines of this car.

I am thankful to be employed.

I am thankful for JGIWC and all that comes with it.

I am thankful for my health.

I am thankful for SoulCycle.

Last but certainly not least, I am thankful to be able to spend Thanksgiving with Nana this year, and for Nana in general. She's the best.

(Last but not least redux, I am thankful for 2012. It's been the best year yet!)
