Happy Tofurkey Day!

As I write this, Chloe and I are driving through the first snow of the winter - from Terre Haute, Indiana to Louisville, Kentucky. Connie Wrin (of The Verve) adopted us into her extended family, inviting us Turkey Day Orphans to her sister's house for a delicious Thanksgiving Dinner. Half a dozen blonde six year olds scurrying around the house, mystery pink Vodka punch, and Apples to Apples. So now, here we sit, in my cozy little car, bellies full of mashed potatoes and pumpkin. Charlie Brown Christmas Station playing on the radio. I love that movie.

I have a wonderful 24 years (and three days!) to be thankful for. Buckets and barrels full of beautiful memories driving across the country, around the world. I'm grateful I've had reasons to write as many thank you notes as I've left under people's pillows, drivers seats, and kitchen counters. I am grateful for Alyse, Laura, Douglas, and Chloe. Each tour partner has taught me something new about music, about the world and about myself. I am grateful for an amazing, albeit sometimes crazy family that supports me and only hopes to lift me up.

I am grateful my car runs.
I am grateful I have a home.
I am grateful I've known great love.
I am grateful my heart is still full of that love.
I am grateful the universe gives me reasons to share that love every single day.
