Thankful

Today I am truly thankful for:

• A roof over my head
• Russ and Beth for giving me a roof when I didn't have one of my own
• A wonderful job that allows to help people and make a living at the same time
• The internet and phones so I can keep in touch with my friends and family back home and around the world
• New friends who are willing to open their hearts and homes to others
• Unexpected walks that turn out to be quite delightful
• Making it to the bus stop at the same time as the bus so you don't have to wait at all
• Bus drivers working on Thanksgiving, allowing people all over the city to see their loved ones
• Three and a half year old kiddos that remind me so much of my cousins that it makes my heart ache
• The knowledge that no matter how low I might feel at any point, I have so many people who love me enough to pick me up and set me right
