It's been a weird Thanksgiving, and not just because I'm on the other side of the ocean from family. It's because all the things I'm thankful for are coming as part of this chaotic slurry of confusion that is the base state of being a new father and an immigrant to another country.

To get Hallmark Sappy, I've learned a lot about myself in the last year, and weirdly enough I think I'm better off for combining both moving and being a new parent. I guess with no grounding, you find a new normal.
