We have so much to be thankful for! I hope that as you spend the holiday with family and friends you meditate on the great blessings God has bestowed on you. Take nothing for granted. Safety, health, family, friends, intelligence, opportunity, work– even in the bad times, we must always praise God for what we have.
I am so grateful for my family and for a place to call home.
Florida, I have missed you. Yes, my family, my bunny, my church, your sunshine, , my cricket team guys, your friendliness, the fact that you have less creeps than New York City, your pride, your RTS buses, 34th Street, the mall, Taco Bell, Weimer Hall, walking barefoot in the grass, laying lying on benches, the color green, protests and activism, awesome speakers and meeting famous people, tan skin, moist skin, the engineering building, CiCi’s Pizza (the pizza here sucks, I don’t care what they say–death in a slice), long country roads, actual houses, warm showers, a heater that works when it is needed–But thank God; Home is always home.
Thank you God, because my home is amazing, so amazing I might take the Florida Bar and bask in sunshine forever more– unless Shahid Kapoor finds me.
He just might–Then, plan B. 
Have an amazing holiday filled with relaxing, laughter, memories, new faces, old faces, sunshine, good food, engaging conversation, no school work or work of any kind and Love.
XoXoXo,
Yours truly–
