Things to be thankful for
I can't wait to eat some Thanksgiving turkey! Gotta wake up early tomorrow to make gravy, mashed potatoes, and apple crisp for potluck dinner at a friend's house.

I've never made a list like this before, but things to be thankful for:

I'm thankful for all the people who have stuck around, this includes my friends and family. I was very lucky to get to meet some really wonderful people and become closer friends with them, as well as keeping in touch with old friends. None of this would be as fun and interesting without my motley crew.

I'm thankful for the direction my life is going, my career continues to excite me and is one of the things that bring me happiness because I'm contributing to society, it's intellectually stimulating, I work alongside some really fun coworkers, and of the fact that it pays me well enough so that I can vacation in other countries. I'm glad to finally find one form of physical exercise (rock climbing) that helps me get stronger, meet new people, get outside, and also continuously learning/figuring out things.

Something else I'm really thankful for, perhaps in a bittersweet way, is that I was able to fall in love not once but twice this year to guys who are really awesome in their own ways. It's definitely been an eventful year in the soap opera that is my life.

北鎌倉あたりが近いし、いいと思う。なぜかフランス料理とかビーフシチューとかおいしいハムが鎌倉に似合う。京都ほど観光客は多くないし。でもさ~、日本ってお葬式にもお肉(ビーフ)やお酒は出るのよね。お寺の中でお坊さんとして生きるのならともかく、俗世間との折り合いをうまくつけることが幸せへのパスポートだと思う。「私はこんなに精神を磨いているのに、周りの人たちは甘い」と思うことほど不幸なことはないと思う。
