So much to be thankful for ...

Today I am thankful for friends, family, and fresh starts.

I am thankful that I'm in a much better place this year than last. That the lines of communication have re-opened with friends and family, and for all the opportunities to offer love and support to them, like they've done for me.

For all the dear friends, coworkers and even relative strangers who have stepped up to help me with everything from emergency tea, cookie and cocktail breaks; hugs; kind words, texts and emails and shoulders to cry on to moving and building furniture; lending a hand with shopping trips and even some not-so-light renovation work.

For you, readers, who are following along and supporting me on this new chapter in my life.

And, of course, finally for a chilled bottle of white wine and the delicious baking smells that today brings :)

Happy Thanksgiving
