the very cliche "what I'm thankful for" post

Today is (apparently) the day when you are supposed to reflect on all the things for which you are thankful. I attempt to do this everyday, because I have been extraordinarily blessed. However, sometimes I fail, and since today is a whole day specifically set aside for being thankful (and for eating...let's be real.) here it is: my 2010 thankful list.

1. My family.

2. My friends.

3. Having a wonderful roommate (who also happens to be a wonderful friend).

4. My education.

5. My job.

6. My health.

7. That my body has zero aversion to gluten or dairy allowing me to chow down on bread and cheese daily.

8. That God is on my team. He's the captain and the coach and all of the teammates. He's got it all under control, and for that, I am the most thankful of all.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

life moves.

I sit at my kitchen table and look out the window at my right at the bare trees and the quickly fading blue of the winter sky. Alexi Murdoch sings me into the kitchen as I start making (yet another) dinner for one.

Life moves on.

It moves in the quiet moments - in the trips to the mailbox and the coupon clipping and the grocery list making. It moves in your roommates 25th birthday and the beginning of another basketball season. Moments pass and life moves.
