Thanksgiving Gratitude

When my life was for rent this year, you all have housed my soul and kept my foundation from cracking. Thank you.

Karen, thank you for showing me how pure love and friendship can be. And the value of a good, small coffee maker.
Ben, thank you for sharing new spiritual teachings and the notion that everything changes, every day. Word.
Sherry, thank you for reminding me that old friends are PRICELESS. So is your home cooked food.
Clare, thank you for holding my hand, lifting my spirit, and being a constant smile in my roller coaster of a heart.
Aveda club girls, thank you for showing me that great, new relationships are extremely valuable, worthy and important.
Carly, thank you for always making me laugh (you know it's my favorite thing).
Shad, thanks for loving me through my psychosis (we know you cray cray, too).
Sidney, thanks for making me feel better every day and telling me good night (and that you love me) every night.
Gabri, thanks for being a rock in my life with your encouragement (and shakeology, when I couldn't eat, and crack head- healing banana bread when I could).
Mother, thanks for being one of my best friends, the kindest spirit imaginable, and worrying about me still in my late 30's.
Braeden, thanks for making me crack up, and always picking me up off the ground when you hug me (you know that's my fave, and after all, you're 6'3 and can't help it).
Daddy, thanks for teaching me to keep eating when I'm not hungry, because it's... just fish.
Donna, thanks for being the glue we need, when we all feel a little weak, and like falling apart.
Quentin, thanks for being a stand up guy. I'm so proud to call you my brother in law.
Debbie, thanks for being everything at ALL times to ME.
Marc, thanks for texting me at important times and loving me (I know you don't really text).
Aunt Judy, thanks for your pies, and for reminding me that I'm ALWAYS invited to thanks giving.
Aunt Jennifer, thanks for your constant, sweet love and energy.
Steph, thanks for being the first person to ever put yourself in my phone, and sticking with me.
Taylor, thanks for appreciating my cookies, and being lovable enough for me to (all kinds of) miss you.
April, thanks for being the kind of person I can tell anything to. You're pretty fun, too.
Chandi, thanks for turning me onto the possibility of incessant laughter at inappropriate things, and that ongoing happiness is possible, even when I feel like crying.
Gretchen (and family), thank you for being my "other" family in Colorado. You're all so beautiful it hurts.
Lorie, thanks for loving me through some of the most difficult times and being patient with my soul/work.
Kelly, thanks for offering me the kind of support everyone always wishes they had.
Travis, thanks for being so generous, and sending me gifts all year round so it always feels like Christmas (you know my weakness for holidays)
Ted, thanks for being Ted's shirts... and Flabio. Someone had to do it.
Dug, thanks for being gluten free. Someone has to be. Wait.. I'm also gluten free now. Oh well.
Hue gals, thanks for being a part of my new family, and making me feel better about my life with spray tans and new hair.
Izzy and Westin, thank you for the many gifts you give. I will forever be finding multi-colored bracelets and happy face stickers in my car when I clean it.
Larissa, thanks for always being so damn optimistic. I need that in my life.
Melissa, thanks for being the most selfless friend a girl could have. No joke.
Jeff, thanks for your constant words of encouragement. I hear you, and appreciate you.
Briana, thanks for always keeping shit real, sharing Henry, and your kids, especially in my lonely hours. They're awesome. You're awesome.
La Vita Bella, I know you're just coffee, but you have no idea what you've created.
My Loyal Clients, Thank you for your on-going support of by business. It means so much.

If I left your name out, it's not because I don't appreciate you, it's because I'm writing this at 6:30am.

Special mention goes to my glasses and contacts. I could not see without you.

Love, Jentri
