Happy Thanksgiving!

(via)

I am thankful for my health and the health of my loved ones. I am thankful for the special time I had with those who are no longer with us, especially my darling Aunt Susan and one of my favorite mothers, Serena.

I am thankful for this little life that Jeff and I have, and to be celebrating four years of love and togetherness. I am thankful to have had my partner by my side for some of the craziest times so far, to make me laugh, to be infectiously enthusiastic, and to remind me just how sweet life is.

I am thankful for the gifts my parents have given me – an education in school and in life. I am thankful to be so blessed, to have been able to follow my heart and achieve my goals, and to have the tools to continue to work for what I believe in.

I am thankful for my friends and family, near and far, who know me for me, who remind me constantly how wonderful it is to love people, and who bring out the very best in me. I am thankful to be in such incredible company.

I am thankful for Broadway tunes at the top of my lungs, for Bear, for a perfectly baked goodie, for belly laughter, for cuddling on a great night of television, for dancing, for a glass of wine after a long day, for down comforters, for fall leaves, for happy people, for love.
