gobble gobble

happy thanksgiving.
as we sat in the teacher's lounge eating the fabulously prepared turkey (from our principal's cook) and stuffing i think of just how much i have to be thankful for.
there is something about india that really humbles you. it makes you take a step back and see just how fortunate you are, and how blessed you were to be born you. sometimes these exact humble moments really make you feel like shit, but that's india.
i'm blessed to have been adopted into a wonderful school with a fabulous staff who invite me to come over and hang out with their kids:) it is the next best thing to having my little ian and eloise. i'll take what i can get. and of course, i am SO thankful for my friends and family. seriously. what would i do without all of you? being here is half the battle, i admit that, and it is courageous and enlightening (these are your words, not mine, i don't always feel all the courageous)...but i truly couldn't do it without all of you as my anchor. reminding me that i am not really alone here, and that i do still make some semblance of sense even though my blog entries clearly show that i am in a constant state of flux.

THANK YOU!
and happy thanksgiving.
i'm going to the beach in goa. (im REALLY thankful for that:) )

You'll be in our hearts and prayers all day - but not in our snow and 30 degree weather.

Go Goa.
