i'm thankful that my checked bag dropped onto the carousel at 6:37 and by running as fast as i could while towing a checked bag i made it to the 6:40 shuttle home before it left. i'm thankful that sometimes things work out the way you need them to. i'm thankful to be writing this from my own bed and to know that even if i have a long day and a long week ahead of me, things will work out somehow.
