Happy Thanksgiving!

Things that I'm thankful for are too numerous to count, but I'd like to inventory at least some of them. I'm thankful beyond articulation for being born into the best family in the world. I couldn't ask for a better mom and dad though I can aspire to be an equally good parent to my child. I'm thankful for my sister, my best friend, and for living long enough to share the joy of the birth of her first child. Im thankful for my extended family who gave me so much throughout the years and who continues to support and love. I'm grateful for falling in love with the man who became my husband and later the father of my daughter, Mia. The man who has been providing support through thick and thin. I'm thankful beyond comprehension for birthing and raising the most incredible child. I'm thankful for every moment with her and for being able to provide for her and for watching her grow. I'm grateful for all that Mia teaches me, for all the love that I get back. I'm thankful for the myriad of friends who have been enriching my life and for the occasional strangers who touch my life in a more subtle way. I am thankful for all the opportunities I've had and for opportunities to come. I'm grateful for living in a community that cares.

Happy Thanksgiving!
