Thanks

This past year has been a bumpy ride, full of surprises that have ranged from extremely unpleasant to beyond joyful.  And rather than looking back at the end of the calendar year, I prefer to see the beginning of the holiday season as the end of the year.  I found out this past year that I am so lucky to have loving, kind friends who stuck by me when I was at a very low point.  I learned that I'm capable of amazing things.  I may trust too much and want to believe in people despite evidence to the contrary, but plenty of people give me reason to keep believing.

 I spent Thanksgiving at Matt's and Dana's, with Dana's parents, Lisa and her family and the three cats.  We had enforced Origami, tons of good food and beverages and a lot of fun.

 I'm so grateful to have my small army of strong friends who love me and care for me, and whom I love and care for.  Anything is possible, because I have them with me!  Thanks!
