happy thanksgiving!

We eat and laugh and gather 'round
With family, we make quite a sound
But let's not forget the thanks we owe
To those there for the high and low

{actually this pic is from our Christmas feast
and I spelled "they" wrong by mistake oops!}

today is the day to give thanks
it's been kind of heavy around here lately
my community's grieving and the feeling is quite sad
so i think it's important to reflect on the good today
and thank whomever you want for what we have.

So I am thankful for...

• my parents- for always keeping me grounded
  
• my sister- for being as weird and funny as me
• my brother- for being you, even when I'm angry
• my school friends- for being as weird and quirky
  as I am (especially she who calls me Panda ;p)
• my swimming friends- for making me a different person
  and always being funny and loving
• the blogosphere- you guys are so sweet and kind
  and learning about everyone is so much fu
  
• my friends and family in general because
  you let me be me and love me for it

how about you guys?
rip a.c. and m.c. may you rest in heaven
