thanks

somebody should thank me for not having kids.

but do you think this looks like me?

no but really. i am so thankful for the trite but certainly true blessings that are my circle of friends and family. i don't know where i'd be without their having carried me over those ruts or picked me up and dusted off my skinned knees at various bumpy spots along the road. thank you thank you for that.

i am also thankful for fleeces, cozy striped socks, silk scarves, and (owmythroat) hot tea.
