Thanksgiving.

I try to think of something I'm thankful for every day; I am so, SO insanely lucky in my life that I try to make sure I acknowledge that fact (even if just in the privacy of my head) all the time. Because I have a very good life, with a wonderful husband, loving (and not crazy-making, but the good sort of crazy) parents, and my beloved chosen family and friends. I try never to take any of it for granted.

I am especially thankful this year because throughout the amazing highs and the really terrible lows (and there were stand-out examples of both), my friends and family were there for me with praise, support, sanity checks, and smacks upside the back of my head when I really needed them. I am privileged to have these amazing, talented, supportive people in my life. I love you.

I hope all of you have a good day, and I hope the upcoming year is better to all of us than the past one. Even if you had a fabulous year in 2009, I hope that the remainder of it and 2010 are even better.
