Thanksgiving, One Year Later.
Tonight I come to you from my parents couch. I got up here early this morning and have enjoyed a marvalous Thanksgiving with my family. We have gathered, eaten, decorated a Christmas tree and enjoyed each others company. 
As we were driving to meet up with more family today my mind wondered to memories of this time last year. At that time, I was unexpectedly in town for Thanksgiving after receiving a layoff notice a few days prior. My family and I were trying to figure out how to get my stuff back to Georgia and speculating what the next few weeks and months would look like. This year, exactly 12 months later, the conversation was drastically different. This year, the small talk centered around successful jobs and busy social calendars. What a difference a year makes!
It continues to amaze me what has transpired over the last year. I have been blessed beyond measure with jobs, friends, opportunities and adventures. I now call Atlanta home and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I have come a long way over the last 12 months and I am so grateful for the past that lead me here.
The last few Thanksgivings have found me eating at friends tables, sitting in Michigan by myself and fretting over an uncertain future. Today, I am so thankful that all of that is behind me, but also acknowledge that I wouldn’t change any of those previous Turkey Days. They, like so many other things from my past, have helped to bring me to where I am today. That in itself is enough to make me truly thankful!
