What I’m most thankful for: a day off with my family, a working fireplace, my grandmother’s china, our health (even if I am sick with an inability to taste anything, and even if Abigail has ‘rhea), and those radio stations that play all-day, every-day Christmas music. For socks and NICU nurses, for a roof over our heads, and the invention of Spanx. I’m thankful for caring supervisors and people who stand up on your behalf, for the friends who don’t hold grudges, for Afrin and Miracle on 34th Street, for chance, and second chances, and for the kind of love that’s there win or lose. For a warm home and hard-working parents who provide, for education, and patience. For pan juices, champagne flutes, and pay checks. For wrap dresses, pinking shears, and pies cooling on windowsills. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
