Today I'm thankful for ...
... not waiting for Cousin B to get off the ferry and skipping dinner with some other relatives. It turns out B was delayed by traffic and a detour the boat needed to make, so she and I were never able to meet up. But Cousin P and husband decided to go out to dinner at a local place instead. It was a nice gathering of 6 of us.

Long time, no see
Today I'm thankful for ...
... mom and dad keeping in touch with their families. It was because of them I was able to get the details on an uncle's 80th birthday. The evening was nothing more than visiting and eating, but it was nice to see us all there to wish D a very wonderful birthday.

I don't know, what do YOU want to do?
Today I'm thankful for ...
... not really knowing what I wanted to do today. I got to spend time with a few other relatives today and even headed out to the mall with one of them. I didn't care what I did so long as I got to the airport on time. It was fantastic getting a chance to be with the smaller group of people. The reunion yesterday was very fun but 30 people is a bit overwhelming. Today we had a lunch between 5 of us, and then I got to hang out with an aunt. It was, I guess, quality time.

We're all one big happy family
Today I'm thankful for ...
... my cousin who arranged a very large family reunion. It wasn't an extravagant reunion---we had it over dim sum. But it was very very important to me. I had not seen everyone for over 10 years. Since they live up in Canada and I'm in California, it's not like I can hop over to someone's house for dinner or meet them up to play with their kids. (And so many people have kids now!!!) I've been living someone vicariously through the photos my Mom and Dad bring back from their visits up there. I wish I could have been a part of many of the life events that have transpired in the past 10 years, but I guess better late than never. And this reunion was possible by the efforts of one very special person.
