Even though it's not Thanksgiving............

........I am feeling thankful. Today: for my sister. We both have young girls. We often talk about how sweet it is that they will grow up together like we did. Just seeing them together makes me feel good inside.

My sister knows me in ways no one else can. It's incredibly comforting. We meet for lunch weekly, talk about our girls and our husbands, talk each other into a danish with coffee, though we both know we shouldn't. She is an invaluable friend, and the only person who can make me laugh that hard.

I hope our girls are just as close.
