A true Thanksgiving

What I'm thankful for:

a second, second chance

doing little things for my girl that make her insanely happy/excited

strong, hot organic Chinese gunpowder green tea

my unrelentingly supportive husband

Spanx

hugs

connecting with random strangers over breast cancer

Cheetos

spooning

putting my hair in a ponytail

browsing Target

reaching for things on high shelves

Chinese food

the smell of fresh-cut grass

my spunky daughter

waving my arms in the air

hydrangeas

books

outings

Wii Just Dance

the beach

watching the seasons change

looking just the same as I always did, with clothes on

social media

poring over food porn

taking care of my family

nachos made in the microwave

sunrises

sunsets

listening to loud music in my car

micro ice cream sundaes from Rancatore's

being able to dance again (but not so much in public)

the smell of crisp fall air

good neighbors

hot soup

having the energy to do more than one activity in a day

Ellen DeGeneres

cooking delicious meals

the mundane tasks of daily life

hard cardio to loud pop music

holidays

the loving support of friends - old, medium & new

Bobbi Brown creamy concealer

the loving support of virtual strangers

warm zucchini muffins with raisins and walnuts

long, shiny hair that's mine to keep

spin class

roast chicken

moxie

perspective

a shot at seeing my daughter grow up

sweating

belly laughing

the knowledge that every single thing in life is temporary

about a million, bagillion other things

I hope that all of you can find something to be thankful for tomorrow, and every day. I wish you the most wonderful Thanksgiving!

xo,

Sarah
