I'm thankful for:

My health. Nothing puts this in perspective like terminal or chronic illness and tragic accidents.

My friends. I've had worse and I can't say I've had better. From the ones that I speak to roughly twice a year, to the ones I see once a month at Big Food Sunday to the ones I see all the time because we can't get enough of each other, I'm grateful for all of you.

My family, who adore me and have welcomed Holly with open arms (in our own, reserved way).

Holly, who fits into friends and family, but is her own special category as well.

My many opportunities -- school, travel, jobs, and the myriad ways my life is better than it could be thanks to circumstance.

My gifts -- I love having something to give back, whether it's in the form of creating an actual object as in knitting, or participating in someone else's life by listening or doing something for them that they need done.

Food. Lord, I love food.

The beauty of the world around me and the senses I can use to perceive it.

Sleep. And on that note, good night.
