A few things I am thankful for

  • my husband, who laughs at me when I deserve it
  • walks with friends, no matter the weather
  • friends who know when to invite themselves over
  • role models of a variety of shapes and sizes
  • my Facebook cheerleaders
  • singing with my fellow GradTONES
  • control experiments that work out the way I hoped they would
  • warm mugs of tea on frosty mornings
  • a welcoming network I can lend to others
  • comfort food
  • inside jokes about Mr. Collins
  • some high school teachers of mine who have been on my mind lately: chemistry, physics, science research and English; you know who you are
