Thankful
I didn't get to post any of this on actual Thanksgiving because I was too busy having a glorious 24 hours in Eugene with friends, happily laptop-free, but, belatedly, some things to be ever so thankful for:
- A job doing what I love that allows me to have a positive impact on my community
- My happy li'l Subaru, which got a record 32 mpg on my Eugene trip, thanks to Granny-style cruise control and moderate speed
- Getting to go home for just over 3! weeks! a week from today and see my family and Florida and to wedding-plan with Liz
- All of my friends everywhere
- Being able to sit around a Thanksgiving table with a few close friends and a bunch of near-strangers and leave feeling positively communal
- Great thrifting buddies
- This lovely fall, which has been so sunny and mild, relatively speaking
- Scruffy the cat, who curled up with me in bed every night and morning while I house-sat last week
- The promise of a hot tub to enjoy all winter long
- Hope, and all that it means
