I don’t have to be grateful, and I don’t have to write about all the things I am grateful for—but I can, and I am. I am grateful. I am grateful for work, work friends, my first Cirque du Soleil (Kurios), a suite at the Ducks game, two football victories, volleyball wall drills, the gym, dinosaur chicken nuggets, Scandal (I have been BINGE. WATCHING.), phone calls to Toronto, ILOVECATS #bulltrout, group texts, friends, family, my puppy dawg, and the beach.
