Day 2: I'm thankful for...

I have a wonderful group of friends. Years ago, Donna gave me a wall plaque that reads "Friends become our chosen family." I am incredibly fortunate to have made wonderful friends who've become family as I've moved far from my family and relatives and ventured far and wide. When I've been away from "home" for the holidays, I've never felt a lack of family because I've been lucky enough to be surrounded by dear, dear friends who've become my family. So, to all my extended family around the globe, I'm very thankful for your love, support, and friendship. Thank you all! Even when we aren't physically together, you're always in my heart!
