holding on to thankfulness

Even though most people focused on this last Thursday, I'm kind of bummed that Thanksgiving break is already over, so I thought it would be healthy to think of things I'm thankful for right now.

I'm thankful...
that I was able to travel home and see so many loved ones.
that my cat seemed happy to see me this time!
for all of the beloved people in my life.
(and also not thankful, health-wise) that I got to eat so much good food.
for the chance to babysit our nephew.
for running into friends by chance at the grocery store at home -- a week sounds like a long time to be home, but we were so busy that we made no plans with friends. there was much joy in that hug.
for safe travels for everyone.
for good ski deals.
for the privilege of going to school.
for my friends here at school...I think my heart leapt with joy when I saw the first two at the bike racks this morning.
for starting off my day with free, good coffee, three friends, and taking the time to sit down together around a table before rushing off to class.
for sharing in the excitement of new bling on my friend's left ring finger.
for classmates who like to stick around after class just to catch up with each other.

It's a good life.
