Thankful

This Thanksgiving, as my family and I gather together in an old townhouse in Vermont, escaping from standard craziness and activity, we build a fire and watch football and silly TV.

We are taking a couple days to be simply together, as the opportunities to do so are becoming less and less frequent.

We enjoyed a turkey feast when the sun was still out and now we sit with blankets, reading, rooting for our teams, and prepping for some late night hot chocolate.

It's been a lovely, lazy Thanksgiving, reminding me what I'm most thankful for: my family, friends, laughter, warmth and the little things that make me smile, like a good cup of coffee and some sharp Vermont cheese.

Happy Thanksgiving to all xo
