better early than never…

tomorrow will be a whirlwind of kitchen-love, and doubtfully any time for the glowing screen.

i’m not a big fan of thanksgiving. however, i like to think that almost every day, i take some time to think about small and big things that i am thankful for.

today, i feel especially thankful for:

  • the overwhelming happiness and good fortune of people i love dearly: leighster & thegypsy‘s new house and her new job (not to mention the dawn of a blissful first year of marriage!), ockamsrazor‘s dream job and she & die_electric‘s return to their beautiful nest in the city of their hearts, burningwax & wronginthehead‘s success with zotz and coming through some hard family times, and so many more. the more happiness i see for my friends, the more energy i send out to perpetuate it 🙂
  • others i love continuing the battle against the things that want to hold them down. i admire my sister’s tenacity and her ability to take care of herself and follow her heart, even when its not fun. i admire the effort so many of my scholastically-owned friends are making as finals and exams approach. i also feel particularly warm and hopeful for those who have recently moved and are trying to find their new groove and place in the world. it makes me want to hug every one of them.
  • my own personal good fortune to have a beautiful house, a loving spouse, a good job, and amazing friends. i’m not sure how i got this lucky, but i am sure glad to have it!

the world is a beautiful place, and as we head out to battle traffic into seattle, i will meditate on that 😀

warmest thoughts to you all…
