This Thanksgiving, I am counting my blessings.
I am thankful for my husband, for my kids, for my parents. I am thankful for my friends.
I am thankful for my health. I am thankful to my body for growing a perfect baby girl this year.
I am thankful for the chance to pursue my dream of writing. I am thankful to two teachers who have nurtured that dream and helped give it shape and direction.
I am thankful to my patient, kind, clever friend Sarah for helping me recreate this space so that my online house finally feels like a home.
And I am thankful to you for being part of the community here, for giving me your ears and your voices.
Wherever you are today, I wish you and your family peace and joy.

Such a great revamp! It’s kind of like getting new curtains and furniture in your living room, isn’t it?
I, too, am thankful for my friends and family and this community which is so incredibly supportive.
Thanks, Cathy!

I am thankful for that too. I hope we’ll have the chance to see each other again soon.
It feels so accessible, so communal.
And I’m thankful that for once, I’m not the last to comment.
Thank you, Wolf, that was my hope. And please know you are always welcome – first, last, or right in the middle.

Like Pamela, I am thankful for you and your gorgeous prose. Many blessings to you and yours. xo
I LOVE IT! I had no idea you were building a new “home.” It looks marvelous. Kudos to both you and Sarah. I am thankful to have finally “met” you this year — even though it feels like I’ve known you a lot longer. Happy Thanksgiving!
My goodness it’s gorgeous and perfect and wonderful. May your Thanksgiving be filled with happy, and restful moments. Here’s to many months and years of writing ahead. I’ll be here to read, always.
