Let's be honest...being single is great, but there are moments that I miss living life with people. Perhaps that is one of the reasons I miss college so much. I was constantly surrounded by people who I was able to go on grand adventures with or do even the most mundane tasks with. Yes, I've made friends since I moved to the cities, but having coffee once every couple weeks is not quite the same as being with them every spare moment of your day. And as I think about sending out a Christmas card with a picture of just me and trying to make big life decisions like buying a car with no one to confer and talk it through with, life seems a little bit lonely.
The good news is that I know this time will past. So here's to embracing singleness and independence and doing what I want ;)

a time to be thankful
I believe that an attitude of thankfulness should not be limited to one day a year, but in the same breath, I am glad that there is a day set aside for us to take the time to reflect on the past year and be overcome with all there is to be thankful for.
I have so much to be thankful for, but this year, the top of the list is health. Praise God for his miraculous hand of protection over me during the 2 month journey of my apendix rupturing and the recovery that followed. I was brought to tears today thinking about the fact that so many things could have gone wrong and the turn out could have been very different, but I am as good as new minus one organ and a healed scar as a reminder of his protection and purpose that he has for me yet to come.
The thankfulness does not stop there. My family is amazing and always there for me, even though I am definitely a hand full!
I hope you all enjoyed a grand Thanksgiving feast today! I feel as though I ate about half of the 22 pound turkey my grandma made. Along with lots of mashed potatoes, cookie salad, stuffing, cranberries, rolls and green bean salad...and pie. It's not often that I eat like this when I cook for myself-gotta love family get togethers :)
