Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! The last few months of my life have had their ups and downs, and the last few weeks in particular. But I’ve definitely come out ahead over all, and with my job going well (more on that in a future post), I have a lot to be thankful this year. I’m thankful that I’ve avoided any major financial crises during my leaner times this past year. That includes being thankful for my health, my home, and my car. I’m thankful for my family and their on going well being, and for a supportive network of friends who have been there for me when I needed them. I’m thankful for my personal relationships, which have brought me more joy and more pain this year than I’ve ever felt before, and I’m thankful that I had the chance to experience both. This year taught me how important the little things in life can be, and I’m thankful I had the chance to learn that lesson.

And finally, I’m thankful that I had the chance to celebrate the holiday with a group of wonderful friends. Wonderful friends and a deep fat fryer, which produced the most tender, juicy, delicious turkey I have ever tasted. Not to mention the Oreos, Twinkies, Snickers, bananas, ice cream, cranberry sauce, cornbread, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pickles that we fried up later.

    hey niels
    I’ve just discovered this web site and I’m here to say that I’m a huge fan of yours. I’m from Brazil and I became addicted to the beauty and the geek tv show, but it’s the first time I’ve written to someone to say anything. I was cheering for you, although I’m sure you ‘ve conquered so much more in life and with that experience than a stupid prize.
    So, Happy Thanksgiving, although it was yesterday. I didn’t know the holiday was on november 27th. We don’t celebrate this in here and, to be honest, I thought it was in september. see, you have just contributed for my culture knowledge. =P

    xxoo

  • Thanks Bruna! It’s so strange to hear that people in Brazil are watching me :p
