When real things happen to imaginary people

As I say every year: 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 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 2010, I hope that the remainder of it and 2011 are even better.
