Holiday Thoughts

Thanksgiving was a wonderful time for me with my family in Houston.
I'm always grateful for the time I get to spend with each of my
sisters, my parents, and grandmother, as well as cousins and other
extended family.

When I allow myself to think about it, I know I'm not pursuing the
career any of them envisioned for me. Considering that - and the fact
that I'm not in the securest line of work - I am so thankful for their
support and love.

If you come to a show in Houston, you're sure to spy my mom, daddy,
and probably my younger sister there. Every time. Which is amazing, I
know.

All this to say, there's so much to be thankful for. But the
relationships with those who love us despite how well they really know
us - including our broken histories and darker demons - seem
miraculous. Perhaps my Thanksgiving musings are a couple weeks late...
Honestly, I'm surprised I got 'em in before Christmas hit. And I'm
glad I've got these thankful thoughts on my mind before the next
family gathering.
