I am thankful for my legs. After spending most of my life despising their shape and size, I've come to realize I could not do what I love most without them... dance.
I am thankful for my scars, both physical and emotional. They make me unique. They make me real.
I am thankful for my friends. They are the air in my lungs, the blood in my veins, and the beat in my heart. I feel blessed to have such diverse and beautiful people in my life.
I am thankful for my bed. It's so damn comfortable.
I am thankful for my hair. It's long and thick and natural and pretty. It's grown with me. It rocks.
I am thankful for music. I'm thankful for the rhythms that move my body and the lyrics that move my soul. I'm thankful for the incredible artists and songs that have inspired me as a choreographer and as a person.
I am thankful for Strawberry Frosted Mini Wheats, hummus, and pita chips. These are the sad-but-true staples that make up my daily diet.
I am thankful for my grandparents. For their infinite wisdom, their inspirational relationships, and their traditions that they have passed down. There is no love like a grandparent's love.
I am thankful for my family, both immediate and extended. For the unconditional love, the brutal honesty, the consistent support, and the unsurpassable loyalty. They are crazy, they are unique, and they are mine.
I am thankful for my heart. It may be too big, too exposed, and too available at times, but no matter how many hits it takes it still beats strong.
Who or what would you like to give thanks to this season?
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you for reading, writing, and sharing...
