Thursday I'm grateful for...


Today I am so grateful for the entire holiday season! I put as much Christmas music on my iPod last night as I could. Now I can start enjoying it. I love music, and especially Christmas music that gets you excited and ready for the holidays or reminds you to be in the right spirit or whatever. It’s awesome, especially for me, when I spend a lot of time sort of in my own thoughts. I have time to listen on the subway, when I’m walking, in my room as background. I love it.

I am also so thankful for the 610 Stompers. If you watched any of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, I hope you remember what I’m talking about. If not, they had a guest spot on “The Today Show” that I think you can Google. It’ll give you a taste of how they performed at the parade. Pure gold.

Going along with the first thing I was grateful for today, is just plain holiday spirit. Both Karene and I were getting stuff ready for our dinners, and it was fun and new and improvised and it made me thankful for good times with good people. I just stopped in the kitchen at one point and realized how happy I was. I will miss Karene :(  But I’m hoping I will become good friends with my other roommates that are moving in.

I went to Jenn’s for dinner number two, and right as I was about to climb her stairs (she lives in a fifth-floor walk-up like me), I realized I will start being thankful for elevators. Even if I have to wait for them.

And of course I’m grateful for my family. I miss having family time. I miss being so close. I never thought much of absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I’m pretty sure it’s true. I can’t wait for all my family to come visit this amazing city so I can show them all the reasons I love it.

Happy T-gives!
