A day of thanks...

Thanksgiving day is tomorrow and I am so grateful for so many things. I am thankful for my family, health, and a chance to travel around the U.S. Although I do not have children of my own, I am grateful to be an aunt so I can be present in the lives of my nephew and soon-to-be niece. I am learning to be thankful for the hard times because it will build my character and make me a stronger, more resilient woman. I am grateful for God blessing me with the opportunity to wake up and to live a life free from bondage and full of adventure. Most importantly, I am thankful for a new batch of snow because looking forward to hitting the cross country ski trails so I can practice!
