With Thanksgiving coming up later this week, it's time to reflect on all that we are grateful for. Let's be honest, for so many reasons, 2021 has been a really crappy year. I'm not going to talk about any of that. It's Thanksgiving and I'm going to focus on the positive, the stuff that kept me going in spite of what was truly a very difficult year for me personally:
- My sister was declared cancer-free after completing her chemo for breast cancer,
- My youngest son returning to in-person learning and rugby at the University of Wisconsin,
- My granddog, adopted by my oldest son,
- Cocoa's successful ear surgery,
- Celebrating my parents' 60th anniversary in person with the entire family,
- Waterskiing with Holly,
- The COVID vaccine,
- Pool running,
- The Ice Age Trail and completing the Mammoth Challenge.
And this week, my return to full-on running.
On Thanksgiving, we'll be celebrating in person, with my entire family. I'm looking forward to it!
