Thanksgiving

I have seen more than 20 sunsets in beautiful beaches, feeling the breeze and listening to the waves sing Happy Birthday.  I have had a Bahama Mamma in the Bahamas, and snorkeled in a private island.  I stood on a glacier, navigated through a fjord, and flew in a helicopter.  I saw movies, I went to delicious restaurants, I snuggled under the covers and watched TV.  I went to Hogwarts and Hogsmeade.  I shed an excitement tear staring at the fireworks.  All this I did holding your hand, and I am thankful for that. 

I had fun in Hollywood, and shopped in Palm Springs. I went to the Feria del Mole, and we got lost and it was fun.  I went to a luchadores party, and had giant Margaritas and chiles en nogada.  I met a baby made by someone I love.  All this I did with my best friends in the world, and I am thankful for them.

I went to Italy, Brussels, Argentina, Brazil, and Guatemala.  I am a Plantinum Elite member of Onepass.  All this I did because I have a job that makes me happy, that keeps me challenged, that takes me places and pays the bills.  I am very thankful for that. 

I have the most amazing family.  I have healthy parents who love me, and they are the most beautiful example of everything I want to be when I grow old.  I have a baby niece who is learning to say my name.  I have a teenage cousin who somehow grew and I did not notice.  I have a grandma that laughs with me every time we see each other.  I have a million noisy aunts.  I have a baby sister that is my best friend, my sidekick, my other half, my most favorite person in the universe.  I am thankful for each one of them in a way that I cannot even describe.  

I am thankful for Ipads at airports, for NFL games, for matching outfits.  I am thankful for cebiches and Asian food.  I am thankful for Hello Kitty blankets.  I think I rank among the luckiest persons alive, and I am very thankful.
