Thankful

Thanksgiving away from the US tends to feel a bit surreal for me, especially with social media exploding with the excitement of the four day weekend. I definitely miss being home for the holiday and all of the over-eating, board games, lazy sofa time, and the comfortable feelings that come with being back home. 

This year we are celebrating a Brighton thanksgiving on Saturday with friends that are becoming dearer to us every day. I am happy to both embrace change and settle more into our life here by the sea. 

This year I'm thankful for...

My partner and best friend that continues to push me every day

My always supportive family

Our Brighton life

New friends and old friends all around the world

That I can continue to make a living helping others

That I'm exploring drawing again and taking big risks doing it

That we still manage to explore new places on a limited income

That it's getting even easier to stay in touch with family and friends

The quiet moments huddled on the sofa with blankets and American TV

Being able to read and read and read

Beautiful nature to gaze at and explore

And finally that our future continues to be bright and that the opportunities are endless!
