"Hem your blessings with thankfulness so they don't unravel."

What am I thankful for?
Much more than a blog post could ever do justice, that is for certain.


Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.” -W. T. Purkiser

2010 has been incredibly good to me:
  • It has been a year of learning, growth and second chances. 
  • My family is in good health and everyone is flourishing. 
  • I have maintained my most incredible friendships and have welcomed many new people into my life this year. 
  • I am so grateful that I got a chance to live in Australia and support myself doing what I love. 
  • I have heaps of friends living on the other half of the globe that I am so keen to visit again :) 
  • Some old friends have come back into my life in a big way and I couldn't be happier. 
  • All of my friends are doing incredible things and I am so proud of them. 
  • I have found new friends (and the like) in the most unlikely of places.
  • I am grateful that I have had the courage to put myself out there when failure was likely. 
  • I am also grateful that I have kept my heart open, no matter what has crossed my path. 
  • I am grateful that I am still able to work towards my dreams and believe that I have the support and capabilities that I need to be successful.
  • I am healthy and have nearly made it a year and a half without health insurance, without problems.
  • I am thankful that I will be re-enrolled with great coverage in January!!!
  • I lost a friend this year, but her legacy lives on and she will undoubtedly help millions beat or avoid lung cancer. For that, I am thankful. (Miss you and love you, Jill)

I am thankful for each and every aspect of my life - good and bad. I am just so thankful to still have my life and my health. I cherish my future everyday and I must say, my life is pretty fantastic. I am content and things seem to get better everyday. My life is full of love and laughter - I am so blessed!
Happy Thanksgiving
