Let's get this show on the road

The one starring me and a giant plate of food. I love that show.

I know. Failure for the second year in a row. And I set the bar so low this year. Although I’m incredibly pathetic when it comes to posting what I’m grateful for, I’m very aware.

I’m aware that I was given the best, BEST child for me. Really, it’s a perfect fit. My Phin is such a brilliant and perfect little boy. How lucky I am.

I’m aware that my husband is truly my best friend. My perfect soul mate. The love of my life and more.

I’m aware that my big, crazy family is more than I deserve. My Mom and Dad. My brother and amazing sisters (that includes you Kari and Dorina). My in-laws, all of them. My beautiful nieces and nephews.  My grandparents. My cousins. I have some really amazing cousins.

I love my little house on a street I was in love with even way back when. Back when I didn’t even picture husbands or kids or dogs.

I have the best co-workers. You think you do? Impossible. Unless you work the same place I do.

My dog is the sweetest little thing. A real little member of our family. (Ugh, I guess the cat too. I guess.)

I love the four seasons I see out my windows.

I’m grateful for my family’s health.

I’m grateful my body allows me work off that rainbow chip.

Of course, I’m grateful for the rainbow chip itself. Duh.

I’m so in awe of the life I lead. Sometimes it’s overwhelming. How was I born into such a world when others weren't? I have a hard time with that.

But I’m aware.

I hope everyone else has a happy, happy holiday. I hope you’re warm. I hope you’re well fed. I hope you’re healthy. Happy Thanksgiving!
