Let us give thanks..

I'm thankful for..

1. My family. They support me, love me, laugh with me and comfort me by all means necessary. They're so good to me, even when I'm not the best to them. They're amazing. I'm so grateful, in a world full of the most screwed up and non-existent family systems - I have a great one.

2. My Niceville family. My girls who have been so faithful and funny for the past 10-ish years of my life. We're lucky to have survived the throws of middle school, high school and college together (even while we were apart!) ... they're always there to laugh, cry, dance and snuggle with, no matter what. I don't need to be anyone else than myself with them - they're my whole world.

3. My SEU family. I found the greatest people that the crazy little college had to offer and I miss them everyday. They're all so different and so wonderful - I am so thankful to know every single one of them!

4. Education. As much as I complain about it sometimes, I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've been given with my education. I've been stretched and learned so much over the past few years in college and now in my graduate education. I'm so very lucky to be able to experience higher education.

5. Hope. I'm thankful that in a world of hopelessness, it's still possible to encounter the goodness of people and the ability to love and hope in something better.

6. Culture. Including, but not limited to: music, really really good restaurants, travel, fashion, wine, coffee and words.

7. Chicago. The opportunities I've been given, the people I've met, the places I've gotten to experience and the changes that I'm going through.
