My birthday always falls around Thanksgiving. Perhaps that is why I’m in a perpetual state of gratitude. Today marks my 43rd birthday. I’m grateful for my friends who consoled me when my dad passed, the opportunity to live with my family in my childhood home, the word-of-mouth referrals that have helped my new, small business thrive and to get to work with the best team ever.

I asked the CuriosityBased team to share what they’re feeling grateful for:
Judy: I am grateful for every moment I spend with my baby, Hannah, and for the love and support my friends and family have been pouring into my family. Hannah is turning one, she’s growing well and I’ve learned and grown with her so much.
Mikaila: I am thankful for my educational opportunities, my health and wellness,my family and both my new and old friends.
Hnin: I am thankful for my good health, obtaining a job right out of graduate school, and financially supporting my parents in Burma.
Linh: I'm grateful for the flexibility I have with my time. Moving away from my hometown for the first time has been tough, but I've been able to explore and do things at my own pace. It has given me opportunities to explore new interests and revisit my past passions. With all of this extra time, I get to really appreciate each experience I encounter.
