all around

piling on the sofa with my boys,
watching the macy's thanksgiving day parade,
i can feel the tears well up.
i am so thankful for this life.

there is nothing else i need.
love.
a warm house.
my health.
my sweet family.
friends-who-are-like-family.
community.

more than ever, i am grateful.
thankful for every day.

travel safely.
soak in all of the goodness.
and if you don't see the goodness? then look for it.
it is all around you.
