It's Thanksgiving, so I'm giving some Thanks … November 24, 2005
Posted by Amber D. Evans in : Reflections, Blacksburg VA , trackbackI didn't work out yesterday. (Instead, I drank a gallon of hot chocolate with mini-marshmellows. Ooooooooo, Yum!)
I did go running this morning. I called it the Gobble Wobble!
I got back, read yesterday's blog comments. I received a wonderful blog comment yesterday …
Actually, I regularly receive wonderful and supportive comments from a
small, but solid group of triathletes (or "slothletes" as Libor once suggested)
found here. Yesterday's comment especially made me happy and best of all, it reminded me of how
forunate I really am [emphasis added]:
Well said, Amber. Sounds like you have a great friend and partner in your sister… I'm a big fan of sibling love. I don't get it when I meet people that aren't 'close' to their siblings (my little brother is my best friend). Anyway, I bet your sisters and mother would say the same great things about you… but you motivate more than your family… you are motivating me and many more out here on the interweb that you won't ever know about. So I'd like to be so bold as to say, on their behalf, Thank you for being you …
Happy 'day-before-thanksgiving' day!

Wow. I hardly know what to say! And I was just starting to have a downer of a day, feeling isolated and removed from all my friends and family that are back home in California while I'm here in Virginia with just my husband and cat to keep me company.
In all honesty, I don't know what I'd do without my sisters (or my
family and friends)! It's so important for all those "icky" or "off"
days. And with my x-country move, I'm uprooting this solid foundation, but have found a pretty good base within this tri community from which
to steady myself against as I build new face-to-face ties.
So, thanks to
me, thanks to you, and thanks to all the wonderful triathletes that
this site harbors! Everyone here is truly a gem … and some shine above
all like diamonds to me. A very special "Thank You" during an
appropriate holiday of Thanksgiving goes to Eric F., Lisa, and Libor.
Feast well and rest your mind, body, and soul!
