Because one day of thanksgiving is not enough (4 of 7)

Today, Thanksgiving proper, I give thanks, as I do nearly every day, for the amazing people in my life. I have a remarkable, warm, loving family, and inspiring, creative, comforting, awesome friends. I wish I had 10 times as much time to spend with all the truly fantastic people in my life, and an instant-travel machine to make it easy to see everyone in their far-flung places. If I spent my whole life in awe of the amazing people who are around me, it would only make sense. You all challenge me, shelter me, make me laugh, give me home. You make the world bigger and better with your thoughtfulness, art, thinking, and care.

Yes, yes, yes.
