The year beginning last Thanksgiving to today has been tumultuous for us with a job change for Sweets and a complete career change for me. There were bumps in the road, times I felt unsure I was doing the right thing but it has all worked out.
For that, I am seriously thankful today.
And for much, much more:
having Sweets as my amazing, adorable and uber-talented husband. he rocks my world every day.
my friends for all their support and love
our families
the opportunity to go to culinary school and have a dream job offered to me
feeling myself become part of a community
having so many people share their knowledge, enthusiasm and expertise with me
the gift of free time for reading, thinking, growing
having more than we need and the ability to pass some things on to those who are in need
the library and it's huge collection of cookbooks for me to pore over eagerly
the harvest from our garden
I, too, am thankful for:
pajamas and aprons, warm socks and cute hats
smoked spanish paprika and cumin, cilantro, ginger and lime
farmers who grow organically
dark chocolate, bacon and coffee
memories of my grandparents
birds visiting our yard
poppies, rose of sharon, lilacs and roses
the butt warmer in my Volkswagen
shows that make me laugh: 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family
still having Quentin with me
tasty cheeses and a local cheesemonger I trust
Princeton Record Exchange
Freecycle
a blog to come home to and my blog friends all over the world
a good president
