Thanks

temple doors, hanoi, originally uploaded by jen maiser.

Without getting too sappy about it, I'd just like to say that my heart is so full today.  I am thankful for ...

my given family:  you astound me with your support and teach me by example,

my chosen family: my friends who are unabashed cheerleaders, my friends who are wiser than their years, my friends who teach me more than they know just by living their lives, my friends who have put up with me since the beginning of time, my friends who are far away but feel very close, my friends who tend toward bossy, and my friends who hold my hand as I tread into uncharted waters,

my favorite flickr photographers who inspire me to be a better photographer on a daily basis,

the ELC authors who are a fantastic advisory board, who have varying points of view, and who are great and enthusiastic writers,

the readers of this site who stick with me through my random musings and also take my eat local suggestions and turn them into action nationwide,

the bloggers I know who are amazing writers and who challenge my perceptions and my writing style,

the bloggers I don't know who are a part of my day,

and every person, every smile, every conversation, every kind word that healed me this year.

I hope that your tables and your hearts are full today.  Happy Thanksgiving!
