Thanksgiving

I am thankful for old dear friends like Shawn who call me up on lazy Sunday afternoons to reconnect and commiserate.

I am thankful for new dear friends like Adeline who send me long facebook messages telling me how wonderful I am and helping me maintain my sanity.

I am thankful for creative friends like Amanda. She started this email chain a few weeks ago and has all her dearest friends sending out encouraging notes to each other every morning. (Ash sent out an email with this link the other day. It is a wonderful oral history site!)

And I am thankful for four-wheelers, Sam A. Baker State Park and cousins who love Harry Potter.
