I am so very thankful…
For my sister Leslie, whose warm heart can embrace an entire room. Who never met a stranger and who always has something to say, you brighten my life…
For my parents, who encourage me through the good and who have loved me unconditionally through the bad. Words cannot adequately thank you and everyday I am grateful that we are still sharing our life story. You will always be the reason I am who I am…
For my sister Carol, whose smile can shine through a gray day, whose intellect and curiosity inspire me…
For John, I was so lucky to fall into your world almost 10 years ago! You are my best friend, my favorite travel companion, the calm when I am the storm. You are the best part of my life…
For our house that keeps us safe and warm…
And for the chance to share Thanksgiving with my family, even if we were only 3 for dinner (we were 5 for lunch)! The oyster stew and crab legs were perfect…
Oh, and I am thankful for Thanksgiving Day 2009 Autumnfest 8k?! My first race since May 2008 and I finished better than expected. Gun time was 59:06, Forerunner time, 58.31. Unfortunately, the race was not chipped so gun time is the official time. I will know better than to start near the back of 750 + people next time. Race report to follow shortly.
