[OT] Happy Thanksgiving!
As I look back over the past year, I really have a lot for which to be
thankful. Being overseas didn't really change my political views or
core beliefs (other than strengthening them), but it did make me realize
some of the blessings that I do have on a day-to-day basis, that I
didn't notice until they weren't there for four months.
I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving, and have many things for which
you can be thankful. :)
