things i am thankful for this week

i am not a big fan of that holiday we had here in the states yesterday-- turkey is not my favorite food and genocide not my favorite thing to celebrate.

but i am thankful for things, so here we go.

i am thankful for my family, who will haul themselves out of bed, abandon their lunches, and ditch the rest of their plans for the day when i need them.

i am thankful for the juggler, who loves me, loves pirate, loved josie, and thinks my family is pretty swell too.

i am thankful for all of you reading this, for those of you i've met in person so far, and for those of you i haven't but hope to.

i am thankful for the internet, which keeps me employed and keeps me in touch, both with people across the country and across town.

and i know i complain about it, but i am thankful that it is 23f and beautifully sunny out, and that myself and the piratedog will be headed out for an afternoon of dogrelated errands shortly.
