The holidays are almost upon us and while some may find it corny to give ‘thanks’ at this time of the year, I think it’s important. Many studies have shown that being thankful leads to a happier life. And heck…who doesn’t want to be happier??
So what am I thankful for in 2025?
- For the GF community, who has been so supportive of my journey and have embraced me since I became ‘Gluten Dude’ in 2011.
- For celebrating 14 years as a celiac advocate. My how time flies when
getting glutenedhaving fun. - For the NY Giants, who have been so bad for so long, my Sundays are now free.
- For sushi, coffee, eggs and tequila.
- For everyone who has supported this app in one way or another. It takes an insane amount of energy (and money) to run it and I could not do it without you.
- For my health. I went to a new doctor recently and he read over my health history and he said “who did you piss off so badly?” Yeah…I’ve had my share of health issues throughout my life but I’m hanging in there and feeling good.
- For my incredible wife Mrs. Dude, who from day 1 of my diagnosis (heck…since day 1 of our marriage) has been a rock star in my life.
- For my wonderful two dudettes, who were quite young when I was diagnosed with celiac (and are now 27 and 30!) and are now both GF themselves. They are simply the best!
I could go on and on because, even though the world is a mess, there is still a lot to be grateful for. But I have gluten-free stuffing to prepare!
Happy Thanksgiving folks and yeah…I’ll say it again…thanks!
