Thanks

Today, on this holiday, I want to say how thankful I am. I've got a great family, we've got a roof over our head, clothes to wear, and good food to eat. We live in a country where we're free to move about, free to do in large measure what we want to. We're free to exercise our rights to worship (or not) how we want to, speak (or not), and choose our leaders. I'm grateful for my faith, for the scriptures, and for the guidance I receive on a daily basis. I'm thankful for the opportunity I've been given to go to law school, and for the wonderful friends I've made here. And I'm grateful for this forum for me to express myself. A special thanks goes out to my blog parents at Mellow-Drama and The Menagerie, for their patience and help in keeping me writing regularly. Thanks for the friends I've made through blogging. It's made me aware of things around me in a new way. I'm thankful for the people whose blogs I read, for their insights, for their humor, and for their wonderful writing. I've been doing this pretty regularly since February, and if anything it's getting more and more fun.

Expect light updates through Sunday as this weekend marks the return of make up story time, and a new pre-teen obsession takes hold (Corbin's in town, and he's big into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - something I liked as a kid too). Also, a report on the Turkey, and how well Reeta's use of Emeril's marination technique works (chicken broth, apple cider, that's all I know).
