thanksgiving party today. the fire was on, and although i only see my outside family for holidays, everything felt cozy and real. i liked it and hope everyone else had a meaninful thanksgiving.
i'm thankful for my friends, who keep me sane when my family drives me nuts.
my family, seriously.
my mom and dad for continuously sacrificing just to make sure we're happy. they don't get thanked for that enough.
for matt and katie, who have taught me so much just by watching and the fact that they're home and that our family is together and getting along finally (knocks on wood) cause without them, home doesn't feel like home, and i'm the one who feels a little homesick.
in school yesterday all the homerooms hadda bring in food for baskets for poor people in harlem who don't have enough resources to make a thanksgiving dinner. our school is so tiny that we probably had enough dinner for like 12 families, but i'm thankful for actions as small as that that show us the beauty in the world and eachother that isn't always easy to see. i'm thankful for the fact that we probably made 12 families feel as though they had something to be thankful for this thanksgiving. and i'm thankful for always having the opportunity to experience a day as significant and beautiful as this with people i love.
anyway, i got drunk a little bit and had some good conversations with my dad.
