Thankfulness

Happy Thanksgiving! It is currently midnight and the very first moment of Thanksgiving day. What do I have to be thankful for this year? It has truly been the most difficult year of my life, but for its difficulties I am thankful. I'm thankful for the ways that it has shaped me, for the pain that I have endured that has and will continue to make me stronger. I am thankful for the way it brought my brothers and I closer; so close we all lived together for a short time. I'm thankful for my travels. I've gone a lot of places, seen a lot of amazing things, and met a lot of beautifully broken people. I'm thankful for returning home. Although it doesn't seem like much of a home anymore, but I am thankful for one true friend I have and for the love and "homey" feeling she has given me. I'm thankful for my visits to Abilene, though they are short, I come away feeling loved. I am thankful for my friends that are miles away, but have done an excellent job of making the distance not seem like very far. I'm thankful for my jobs. Yes, all three of them at one time. I'm thankful for my health and I'm thankful for my families health.
I am restless and tired tonight. I've been driving since Sunday, it seems. I left Sunday after work to drive to Abilene. I had a blow out on the way. It was terrible. I left Tuesday for Comanche and then on Wednesday for Rockport. I'll work Thursday, yes on Thanksgiving day, lame, I know.
...I wish I was home, wherever that may be.
