Happy Thanksgiving

A simple thanks:

Hello everyone I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I hope it is filled with fun and family and that everyone gets to enjoy the day and everything that they are Thankful for in their lives.

I am thankful for my family. Even the family I don't see that often (or hardly at all) the greatest thing about my trip to Italy with Meghan and my Mom was getting to meet and know my family in Torre Del Greco. That was truly the trip of a lifetime. So to my family in Italy and America thank you. I am thankful most especially for my immediate family of Meghan and my Mom. We have definitely had a rough path lately but the three of us can handle anything together.

I am thankful for my house in TN. Even if I am at this moment sitting 900 miles away in NY because I haven't (for various reasons) been able to move yet.

I am thankful for my friends who I know will always be there for me and who give me the trust and honor to be there for them whenever they need it.

I am thankful for my job. Sure I wish I made more money but no matter what I did I feel like that would be a given. I like my job there is something nice about being able to step back and see an immediate difference in a set. Also I have the greatest coworkers in the world and that is not an exaggeration. They make coming to work fun and entertaining.  

So thank you life for being pretty good. Maybe not what I thought it would be and I'm not saying I don't have complaints but Thank You. Thank you. Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

If I listed all the things I am thankful for I could be here all day but here is a short list:

I am thankful for the best Mom anyone could ask for. She has shown me who I want to be by the example she sets every day.

I am thankful for my Dad. He has left me with his sense of humor and an ability to appreciate a good story.

I am thankful for Meghan. I can't imagine not having my sister and best friend rolled into one.

I am thankful for my extended family. There are family members I now talk to almost every day that previously I had gone for years without talking too. I love my family and I hope they know they can call me if they ever need too.

I am thankful for my friends and coworkers. I am surrounded by good people every day some of you are like family to me and I enjoy your company.

I am thankful for my house. Even though I am not living in it yet. I have it. Next month will mark one year of mortgage payments down with 29 to go. I have projects planned for the yard and I look forward to spending many years making wonderful memories in that house!

I am thankful for the memories of those who have passed away. Everyone we meet whether it's just for a short time of for years is important. I like to think of every interaction as a chance to learn about myself and others. Good or bad our interactions can teach us about how and who we want to be.

I am Thankful for my life. It isn't what I planned but nothing really ever does go as planned. I have my family and friends, my job, and my house. I have 31 wonderful years of memories filled with fun and love and I look forward to many more.
