I can't stand how commercialized holidays are these days. I believe holidays are whatever you make them into. To me, Thanksgiving is a time to get together with family and friends, eat and drink way too much and reflect on all I have to be thankful for.
1) Top of the list is my health. This year I have felt better than I have in the last 5 years, that is pretty friggin special.
2) I have family and friends who love me very much and are always there for me.
My sister and I with the man who raised me, Jim. The shit he has put up with!
Here is me and my Dad at my wedding.
My nephews :)
My BFF Kristi.
Her sweet daughter Madison, who I just adore.
Ron and Christopher, dear friends!
Cathy first friend I ever made in Oregon!
Me and Keagan digging to China.
My nieces who I miss very much!
My mother-in-law Patrice and her sister Aunt Norah
Kathi, Alex and Brianna they make me happy.
My niece Haylen who I hope to have more adventures with!
Chris, the man who makes life worth living!
My momma and sister, they get me.
3) I made new friendships through my blog and I hope with some time that I can get to know these very special women better. I feel lucky to have found my tribe.
4) I still have a job that I dig, for the most part, and I still get out of it what I put in and I like how that makes me feel.
5) I've had a creative year filled with new projects and new challenges.
6) I have animals who love me unconditionally and bring me a lot of happiness.
Chris is copying Peetee's zen like state!
