Thankful

I am thankful to have family all over the world.

I am thankful that I was able to visit my family in India two years ago with my parents.

I am thankful that just this past year, I have visited family in Louisiana (twice!), San Diego, Las Vegas, New York and now, Tucson this weekend.

I am thankful for the opportunities and freedom I have to travel. Along with the locations above, I went to Pittsburgh, Chicago, Washington D.C. and New Orleans again, but this time for Mardi Gras!

I am thankful for my nephew who has been renamed Teghan the Tornado, but will still give me kisses and cuddle with me.

I am thankful for Kavya, my niece in heaven, who has taught me the importance of spirituality, to believe in myself and embrace what we have right in front of us.

I am thankful for friends I met through old jobs who still keep in touch no matter where we are.

I am thankful for technology which allows me to keep in touch with friends and family, and to work from home, the airport and my cousin’s living room.

I am thankful for friends and family who care for each other deeply.

I am thankful for friends who are like family, and family who are friends.
