post script to thanksgiving:
the awkward conversation i was sure would come up, didn't. and i'm thankful for that. i'm thankful for friends, family, and cheesecake (i think it deserves its own category).
gluttony aside, i can't stop thinking about my cousin. he's volunteering for the peace corps and is currently stationed in zambia, helping out with agriculture. that's all i really know. it's a two-year commitment. i feel horrible stuffing myself knowing that he's in zambia, sleeping in a mud hut and eating something that probably leaves his stomach growling. i'm sure it's an experience that will change his life (if it hasn't already), it's just hard not hearing from him or seeing him around the holidays.
that being said, i guess i'm thankful for people like my cousin, who are trying to help make people's lives in zambia a little easier, even if it might make their own lives more difficult for a few years.
i don't know. that sounds sort of contrived now that i've read it over. but i don't know how else to say it.
i'm thankful for ryan.
