So much to be thankful for...

Just got back from an 8 mile run around Mission Bay. I am always amazed at how beautiful San Diego truly is - the beaches, the people, the active lifestyle, the sunshine, Sea World, the boats, it was just one of those mornings. I spent a quiet Thanksgiving having dinner with my parents. I am so grateful that they so fully embrace the fact that I am vegan. I felt bad for Dad since I am sure he would have preferred turkey, but Mom put on a truly amazing spread of fruits and vegetables. Dad filled my car up with leftovers - I think they worry that I don't eat - or maybe he just didn't want mom to continue the meat-free theme =) My sister is in Cancun and should be coming home today. I haven't talked to her in over a week - seems like forever. Hope they had a great time.

I managed to avoid the malls yesterday, but can feel the days counting down towards Christmas; so think that I will brave the wilds of at least Cedros Avenue this afternoon in search of my sister's B-day gift which is on Tuesday and my mom's B-day which is on Sunday.

During my run my left leg kept falling asleep - this is a new development which I can't say is completely unwanted, but have a feeling that it is not a good sign.... Hope everyone is having an amazing Thanksgiving weekend. There is so much to be thankful for....
