This past year was both thrilling and exhausting. 2016 brought the realization of a lot of long-held goals for me and I'm incredibly thankful for that. The whole year has been a blur. Steemit and my readers here have made my dreams come true.
What I'm even more thankful for are the relationships with family and friends (many new ones that I've met here online and in person at SteemFest)...these are the true blessings in life and this is the real measure of success. These bonds and the love, laughter, and memories we share are more precious than any material thing could ever hope to be. Simple memories of time shared, this is what will be the most valuable thing we have as we stare out the window, daydreaming in our old age.
This is what Thanksgiving is all about, acknowledging and paying homage to the things you're most grateful for. I am very grateful for you all and hope to make many more memories with you in the year to come.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! Enjoy your family, friends, and your feast!
