I hope you’re all taking the day to spend quality time with family and friends but I wanted to come on and say a heartfelt thank you for being part of this little online community! I have so much to be thankful for and having this space to share the people, places, and things I love with all of you is very high on that list. And just for fun — in alphabetical order because I couldn’t possibly rank them — 50 more things I’m thankful for this year!
