This is for you, Mom

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Things I'm most thankful for this year: my family, my friends, my job, did I mention my family?, toast, Trader Joe's creamy natural peanut butter, Oakland Public Library, Facebook (yes, embarrassing, I know), Mission Carb Balance tortillas, Amazon, Netflix, and weirdly enough, my diabetes and my broken heart, and not weirdly at all, my family.

Each and every one of these people and/or things helped me through tough times this year or introduced needed change into my life, and I'm a better person for it.

Whether or not you're a celebrater of Thanksgiving as the United States observes it, I hope you take the time to figure out what you have to be thankful for and hope that someone is thankful for you as well.

Cheerio!
