Happy Thanksgiving!

[orangerful]

Hey f-listers!

The turkey is in the oven (though I think I might have miscalculated how much time it would take to cook seeing as it needs to reach 161 degrees and it was already at 140 at noon...). It's a beautiful day in Maryland - 50 degrees and clear skies! Lovely day to celebrate all the things I'm thankful for in this crazy world.

I'm thankful for my family - from my parents and my brother to my new family with Tim and Sylvia. And my "found family" of friends scattered across the state and the country who I always miss a little bit more this time of year.

I'm thankful for Livejournal and this safe space where I can come and babble about whatever I want and there are people here who get me. I really cherish all the friendships I have made over the years and I'm always glad when I meet new people online and we click.

I know I am a very lucky person. I have more than many and I feel like my life is on the right track. I am very thankful for that.

Anyway, THANK YOU for reading and talking with me and I look forward to more online discussions!

And for those of you that want something amusing to watch, check out the new OK Go video. It took 4.2 seconds to shoot most of it and then they slow it down and it is amazing to watch. You can read the blog post about how they did it and it makes sense as to why they released it the week of Thanksgiving -- it's about slowing down and appreciating the little moments in life, something I think a lot of us forget to do, especially around the holidays when things feel so hectic.

Enjoy!

Man, OK Go is just brilliant. I dunno how they conceptualize those things.
