Happy Thanksgiving!

11.27.25

A sweet friend shared this as a memory that popped up earlier this week. I wrote it back in 2014.

May your hearts be warm and your bellies be full. Be grateful and not just thankful, everything can change in a moment. The young grow old and the old pass on, only to be remembered in our precious memories. Most of all, hug the ones that you love and tell them all the reasons why they mean so much to you. It may be the first, last, or one of many times between but you never know until it’s too late. Don’t let your best intentions become your worst regrets. Happy Thanksgiving!

So much has changed since then, yet some things haven’t changed at all. My love for words, my love for life, my love for connection. There was a lot of darkness and pain for me between now and then. These days, I try not to live in the past or obsess over the future. I want to live fully in the present, grateful and aware of every damn minute.

Here’s to holding close what matters and never taking a single moment for granted. Love, Ci 💛
