little bitty girl

Another Thanksgiving weekend has quickly passed us by. I am so stuffed with turkey as we had three family dinners to attend but I really shouldn't complain as there are so many that are going without tonight. More and more, I am made aware of my many blessings. I am thankful for -

my parents, who are just wonderful, loving people. As time goes by, I cherish and hold on to every minute that I get to spend with them. There is still so much to learn from them both.

my brothers, who make up parts of my being. When they are not around, I feel a little lost. They are the parts of myself that I want to be.

my friends, who, like fine wines, have grown better and more valuable as time passes by. They make me better just having them around.

my extended family, as many as there are. I am grateful that I come from such a large and loving family. I am glad to have all my wacky cousins and life would be less colourful if I did not know them.

Mindy, who is my little joy. She just makes me very happy.

Last, but never least, Stefan, who is just one of the best people I know. Kind-hearted, funny, loving, endlessly patient. I wake up every day knowing that somehow, someway, I lucked out in having him as a partner.
