Thank you, wine.

I somehow managed not to eat my weight in cranberry sauce and stuffing this Thanksgiving. I can't say that my plate was always perfect and full of veggies, but considering my 4 day weekend consisted of two Thanksgivings, two  birthday celebrations, and one mini college reunion, I faired pretty well! I managed to make it to the gym two of those days and I did, in fact, eat veggies. Let's just forget about the part where I drank a whole bottle of wine.

That bottle of wine does lead to reflect on the things for which I have been thankful for this year:
1. Wine. white, red, rose, I don't discriminate. Though I enjoy you (mostly) in moderation these days, I still love you.
2. My partner and the home we have created together (I should maybe mention here that these are not ranked in order of importance...)
3. My nutty friends and my even nuttier family. You're all crazy. And sometimes you drive me crazy, and into the arms of wine. But I can't not love you.
4. My (new, official, as in I'm kinda the boss) job and a staff that continues to support me and work their tails off.
5. My able body that I seem to be able to push a little further and further each day. Thanks for not letting me down, body! Honestly, we still got our issues, but the truth is, you let me do things like run 3 miles and for that I am forever grateful.
