Thankful for Family

Today is Thanksgiving and I am in Chicago with family. I'm not used to spending holidays with family... thru the years...I've been with mostly with friends in CA or FL or whatever state I was living in. It's nice being with family it feels right. But, being with friends felt nice too. You know that saying "home is where ever you are" well I believe holidays are like that, as nice as you want them to be where ever your are....with or without family.
So what am I thankful for today? All the friends who opened their homes and hearts to me as a person not living near family. Thank you.
And I am thankful for my family being alive and near me today.
