Thanksgiving

So I'm a little late on this one, but I still wanted to document what I'm thankful for this year. So much has changed in the past year of my life. I have hope where I had completely doubted everything and I feel love I never knew existed for anyone. I see a future with three very special people and I couldn't be more excited for it. My family is happy and healthy and we are all in the best relationships with each other than we've ever been. We have honesty and support for each other. My sister will be marrying the love of her life in about 7 months and I'm so excited for the honor of standing for her on that special day. My brother is doing well in school and has grown into an amazingly caring and sincere young man (so weird! He's my baby brother!). My parents are completely and totally in love with each other after 30 years of ups and downs and highs and lows. I'm completely and utterly happy.

The weirdest thing for me? Accepting that. Not waiting for the floor to fall out from under me. I'll get there, slowly but surely. Then again, maybe it makes me appreciate it all a little bit more. I don't really want to get "used" to having someone completely spoil me, right?

I'm going to steal a few lyrics from Darius Rucker (or for those of us that have a hard time as accepting him as "Best New Artist of the Year", better known as Hootie):

It may be a simple life, but that's okay
If you ask me baby, I think I've got it made
Cause I've got a roof over my head,
the woman I love laying in my bed
And it's alright, alright
I've got shoes under my feet
Forever in her eyes staring back at me
And it's alright, alright
And I've got all I need
And it's alright by me
