Today,
I’m trusting that showing up will lead to more opportunities and making new traditions will break some bad family habits.
I’m grateful for: old friends, new friends, cracker-sized pieces of cheese, eye masks, gingerbread ornaments, fun arguments with my brother and sister, and a round-trip ticket to Colombia.
I’m inspired by the vulnerability of a few.

1. What are you doing for Thanksgiving this year? It will be my parents, sister, and brother at my house for dinner.
2. What are you most thankful for this year? Safety. Health. New experiences. The self-confidence and assurance that grows within me each new year.
3. Do you have any traditions on Thanksgiving? The parade? The football? Long naps? My dad will always complain that the food is not ready at 10am. I always banish him to the den and television until the food is ready. After eating any meal together at my house, we always congregate to my huge sectional. My sister and I are working on starting traditions around every major holiday since we didn’t really have any growing up. This year we’re bringing back Uno. We’re going to work a family breakfast in to keep my dad from grumbling from hunger. I have a feeling that later on (once more kids are present) a family soccer game will be part of the day.
4. Is it called stuffing or dressing? Is it in the bird or a separate dish? Stuffing and separate.
5. Do you cook? Yes – especially since everyone comes to my house now.
6. What is your favorite dish? I love most potato dishes the best. And bread.
7. What is your dessert preference? Pumpkin pie! I want to try pear tarts this year.
8. What is your favorite Thanksgiving memory? 2008. It was right before I closed on my house, so I was in an especially good mood.
9. Do you plan to shop on Black Friday? Never.
10. What are you most dreading about Thanksgiving this year? I’m just dreading having to go back to work the next day.

1. What is your dream vacation? I would love to live abroad for a year or two. Maybe Spain?
2. What has been your favorite trip so far in your life? For experience , spending 3 weeks in Vietnam and Thailand. For relaxation, spending 5 days in Bermuda.
3. If you and one of your best friends could go anywhere in the world for one week, where would it be and why? Cruise! I’ve never been, and we (four of us) have mentioned it as our next reunion. I personally would prefer a Mediterranean or Alaskan cruise.
4. Have you ever booked a trip using an online deal? How did it go? I’ve only ever purchased plane tickets and reserved hotel rooms online. So…fine?
5. What’s your favorite thing to do while on vacation? I love slow mornings and big breakfasts. If I’m traveling somewhere exotic, I make sure to eat with the locals.
6. Have you ever missed an opportunity to take a trip that you regret? No. I almost said no to Vietnam/Thailand because of some scheduling issues. So glad I made it work!
7. You travel far away from home and get stranded with no way to buy anything. What’s the one thing you can’t live without? Ice. I can’t stand lukewarm drinks.
8. What’s one of your favorite traveling memories? Eating a simple lunch in a gazebo with a gorgeous Bermudan view. A morning walk around a city in Vietnam before the quiet became bedlam.
9. All included resort or backpacking? Why? Backpacking. I think there’s more freedom and more experiences to be found when you stay away from resorts and tours. I had so much more fun in Vietnam where we winged it then in Thailand when we were part of a group tour.
10. Are you more of a lie on the beach kind of person on vacation, or do you prefer to see the sights? I’d rather see everything I can see as long as I don’t have to get up early. And I hate lying on beaches. Even in Bermuda, I walked the beach, enjoyed the water, then returned to our beautiful house overlooking the beach. There I could sit outside and enjoy the same breeze and view without the sandy mess.
