Today I should be writing a list of things I'm thankful for. The thing is, I basically did that already last week with my post titled "Reminders". So now I'm wondering what more I could say.
I'm thankful for my loving family. I'm thankful that despite the increasing number of health problems he's had in the past few years, my dad is still alive and fairly well; I'm thankful he's had such good care. I'm thankful that my mom's also had lots of support from my siblings still in New Hampshire, from our extended family, and from her friends. I'm thankful for my cool and smart siblings. I'm thankful that my family is close and gets along well, when it's not uncommon at this time of year to hear that many others aren't so fortunate.
I'm thankful for my adopted Seattle families: my college friend Tony and his wife Farida, and their friends Tony and Pam. I'm thankful for all the love, care, and support they've given me since I moved to Seattle, standing in for my physically-distant family. They've done a lot to make Seattle home to me, even though I still reflexively refer to back East as home.
I'm thankful that I made some close friends while growing up that I still have today. Those guys have kept me going so many times in so many ways. I'm thankful for the many more friendships I've made over the years, in school, at college, at work, through music, through gaming, through KEXP, through other friends, through the Internet.
I'm thankful for my KEXP friend Brittney and her husband Ben inviting me for Thanksgiving today.
I'm thankful that KEXP exists, and for all the great music it plays. I'm thankful for the opportunities I've had to attend shows and festivals as a volunteer for KEXP, and thankful for the opportunities to volunteer in different ways to help support their mission to promote music.
I'm thankful for the people who've helped to support me and keep me going as a freelancer. I'm thankful I've had the opportunity to give that a try.
I'm thankful to you for reading.
