I am thankful I was too busy with wonderful events and loving people to stop and think about what all I am truly thankful for.
After a great amount of trepidation, I am thankful I moved here to be with my wife.
I am thankful for 4 weeks of truly disheartening interviews and job searches, because that made me appreciate it all the more when the first offer came, then the second, then the third. I am thankful the job offer I accepted was for considerably more than they initially said it would be.
I am thankful for family, pets, good music, good books, and the Autumnal nip in the air. And the opportunity to finally not stress.
