Today I am thankful for all of the above and the many opportunities that are now present in my life.
It's always interesting how life can throw some curve balls that seem to be life changing moments. I thought Tennessee was going to be a final stop, but the southern country life wasn't where my heart (and health) wanted to be. Being back in Reno, Nevada has given me an appreciation for all that I left behind; friends, family, conveniences, trips to Cali (even if it's just to buy lottery tickets.)
