I'm thankful for:
- My amazing, loving, supportive, hilarious, strong, protective husband, Tim. He gave up his entire life to follow my 3000 miles across the country so I could pursue a dream. I think I'll keep him forever.
- My sweet, cranky, geriatric kitten.
- My intelligent, proficient, and kind instructors.
- My brilliant (academically and sartorially) thesis adviser.
- Being financially stable enough to pursue my dreams and my graduate degrees without going into crippling debt (let's be clear--I'm going into some debt; it's just not crippling).
- Living in a country where I don't have to choose between safety and an education.
- My talented, witty, clever, and caring classmates and friends. (Especially Marshall and Merlyn.)
- The friends I've found or re-found on this coast, who will be sharing the holiday with us: Haylie and Ross, Dan and Macy, and Ben.
- My family, especially my incredible in-laws.
- My friends back home who are cheering me on from afar, especially Ellen.
- A reliable car that allows me to see my husband regularly.
- A cozy apartment close to campus so that my walk to class in the winter is short and sweet.
- Fuzzy blankets, fluffy pillows, and a comfy mattress.
- Indoor plumbing.
- My bathtub.

It is nice to sit back sometimes and think on how good life is for us. Accentuate the positives - even if there are bound to be some negatives. But a geriatric kitten???
Yeah, she's 21.
