Thankful
There is a longer update email that I’ve been putting off writing, partially because the list of updates grows faster than my allocation of energy for writing them down. New job, a health crisis in the family, it’s all coming. It’s in the mail.
But yesterday was Thanksgiving, and because we ended up celebrating it today, I want to spill some bits on the subject.
I feel thankful for the small, chance encounters that have completely altered the course of my life. Friends I’ve made at work after I was their interviewer. Lifelong buddies who became that because I, despite being a homebody, said “yes” to an invite for a drink. People who I met years before but who make the time to still pop into my life.
And who could forget that girl on the bus who I took a chance on talking to.
Here is to all those connections which might not be there if we had hesitated for just a moment.
For these people and moments I am thankful.
