We usually go around the table at Thanksgiving and say what we're thankful for, but this year I won't be with my family so I think I'll inflict this tradition on my hosts

I am forever thankful for my partner, he changed my life and has made me happier and more confident that I thought possible. I'm thankful for everyone in my family for being so wonderful and caring without the least bit of drama, I'm thankful for my crazy dog and that I've almost completed my education despite setbacks. I'm grateful for the information I learned that have put a new light on how lucky I am and make me appreciate it all more than once a year.

And I'm thankful I've had a very safe year without any huge injuries or illnesses.
