A Joyful Moment

I am thankful:

– to be a daughter, sister, AND AUNT
– to be an American and a Southerner
– for my church
– to know many nice, interesting people who are different from me – it’s good to be stretched
– for friends who gladly include me in their family and other-friend-group events
– that I’m comfortable doing things on my own, okay with my own weirdness, and rarely feel like a third or fifth wheel
– that I’ve never felt better physically/athletically
– that many opportunities are available to me, even if it doesn’t feel that way sometimes
– for a hairdresser who’s consistently trustworthy with my hair
– for my garden, which is looking amazing
– for ice cream and YoLo
– that my face didn’t actually get sunburned on my jog today, I was just red from near-heatstroke
– that I live in the era of Joss Whedon (Avengers was amazing)
– that summer is unofficially here!
