The last family members have gone home, and I’m snuggled in bed feeling so grateful. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving, complete with conversations by the fire, a stomach stuffed with pie, and a happy family exchanging stories and support for each other.

I have many things to be thankful for: a new marriage, a year of adventure, a healthy baby nephew with the bluest eyes, and the sweet, naughty cat sitting by my feet. Thanksgiving is one of the simplest holidays: eat food with family and give thanks. Well I’ve done that, and my heart is very full.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
