#3 is food. Thankful to have food to eat, yes, but also for the process of cooking and how it allows us to gather and care for each other. There’s nothing quite like offering or receiving a home cooked meal, no matter how humble.

#2 is work. I don’t always feel super passionate about working in IT but I think I’m good at it, I love the folks I work with, I’m able to take the time I need to keep balance, and it’s often a ton of fun. Lots of change on the horizon, we just got acquired, but that’s interesting as well.

Seeing my parents and in-laws as grandparents for the first time is one of the greatest joys of my life. Enjoying holidays with my adopted (emotionally if not legally) brothers from Ghana always fills my heart.

I don’t take having a family that gets along for granted. It’s the absolute best.

This looks amazing. I have a hunch a little hit of cayenne in addition to the cinnamon would kick it up another half notch yet.
