In the month of November, I’m meditating on my gratitude for something different each day.

I’m thankful for my wild and hilarious sisters; for my crafty, creative, and awesomely geeky (yay!) nephew; my fantastically witty niece; my parents, who of course will get their individual posts, but deserve a mention here, too; my aunt who played countless hours of te cojo (like Cuban hide and seek) with me as a kid; for my abuela who always was sure to have arroz con pollo waiting for me; for my countless cousins, young and old, who make every gathering memorable; and for the family members that I have lost, for whom I am thankful to have had a chance to know.

Today, I’m thankful for family.
