Thankful.
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. Mine was delightful. I cooked the meal, admittedly in my parents' home, and it all came out well. With my brother's family in Florida with the in-laws, it was just the three of us, but we had a lovely relaxing day.
It's impossible to write out all that I feel thankful for. Even in the stressful times, like I've had of late, I feel like my life is so full it seems illusory; like it might be ripped away at any moment. My family, my friends, my job - even when it's stressful, my cats, my health, it's humbling to think about how many wonderful things there are in my life. If it ever is all ripped away, I want to know that I really appreciated while I had it.
Now, to figure out what to do with this lovely empty day in front of me. I'm thinking of walking to the mall and people-watching. It's not stressful to shop today if you have absolutely no agenda whatsoever.
