Lots To Be Thankful For

Happy Thanksgiving

It's been almost 7 months since I updated this blog and in that time everything has changed ... New job and a new home in a new state far from everything I have ever known.

In the process of getting here, I learned more about myself and what I am capable of, which is quite a lot. I reconfirmed what I always knew about my J, he is without a doubt the most loving and perfect partner for me in this crazy life. We've been through a lot together and we are stronger and more in love then we have ever been. 

I could go on forever about what I have learned, what I have seen and what I have gained in the last few months but that is not why I sat down to write today.  I sat down to talk about Thanksgiving and what I am thankful for.

As an aside, I am cooking my first Thanksgiving dinner on my own and so far its working out well. Turkey is in the oven, desserts are prepared, stuffing is made, and I just have to make mashed potatoes.  I absolutely love cooking so this has been a lot of fun. Lets just hope the turkey comes out OK.

Now what I am thankful for ...

Joe has changed my life, made me stronger, shown me what it means to love a man and be loved by one.  He is my rock, my heart, my anchor in the dark, my best friend, and my love.  I am so thankful for him. He gave me the courage to move and the support to make it happen. I am so happy that he came here with me and that he seems to enjoy it too. We are building a life here that is entirely our own. I can never thank him enough for everything he gives to me. I love you.

I am thankful for the new friends I have made in Colorado, the new home Joe and I found together that was perfect for us, and for the luck that brought us here. I love it in Colorado, the mountains and sky inspire me daily. 

I am thankful for the new-found creativity and drive that I have found in my new job. I love going to work everyday knowing that I can make things happen.

I am thankful for the wonderful friends and family that Joe and I had to leave behind in the east.  They supported us immensely in making this choice and their love helps us keep going. 

This life is getting better and better, I may still be in-vogue but the meaning is changing.  I am not living the high life in a major city but I am living my life in a place where I feel for the first time in my life that I truly fit in.

I plan I writing more in this blog, hopefully not taking another 7 month hiatus.
