Well it wouldnt be me if I didnt say what I was thankful for...The infinitude of people wiser and more talented than I, because of whom I will always be able to learn more, see differently, understand better, and generally be entertained. That anytime something hasn’t worked out the way I wanted it to initially, something better did. Always. Without fail. Friends who have loved me more than I loved myself, and who taught me how to love myself. Hugs. That nothing lasts forever, which is, essentially, just a call to be present. Second chances. Third chances. Forgiveness. The ability to say: thank you for that experience, and mean it. Nature. And trees. The after-rain smell, the springtime smell. Mountains and trails and and the fact that I have feet and legs to walk them. The funny fact that the nature of realizing a problem is also you recognizing that there is a solution. My job. The fact that I get to change the world daily. A long meal in a dimly lit restaurant with a bottle of wine and someone you love. The smell of someone you’re falling in love with, right when you’re falling in love with them. The fact that there is no limit to the number of people we can fall in love with – and that it is possible to do so, each time, as wholly as we did before. Confident people who live their lives and speak their truths and redefine beauty and greatness and wonder and what it means to LIVE just by the nature of their living. (People don’t become inspiring by trying to help others, just by being themselves.) The simple, perfect knowledge that my only real purpose is to be. Right here, just like this. My name will fade with successions of generations, and eventually, one day, nobody will know I existed. But for now, just for today, I am awake and alive to see and feel and breathe and live in a foreign, temporary body. If there is something more beautiful than that, show it to me, I’ll be surprised. My family and my friends. Oh and PS- The Eagles BLEW OUT the Cowgals! Lord I am Blessed. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
