There are so many things I am grateful for. There’s no question how blessed I’ve been my entire life, and I can never, ever forget how lucky I am. So let’s celebrate Turkey Day right with a list of the things I’m thankful for this year:

J.R. Martinez Wins Dancing with the Stars and Restores My Faith in America
If you didn’t already know, J.R. Martinez was my frontrunner for the title of Season 13’s DWTS champion. The man could dance. He had charisma. And most of all, he had a backstory that literally made me cry every time he spoke.
After suffering physically-altering wounds as a young solider in Iraq, Martinez championed his depression, took stock of the hand he was dealt and decided he was going to make the most out of the life that he now faced. He became an actor. He became an advocate and representative of wounded soldiers across the nation. And he went on live television and attempted something he’d never done before. And America responded. And for that I am proud.
Freestylin’ Finals on Dancing with the Stars!
So last week, Ricki and Rob kind of ran the show. J.R. had an ankle injury that left him wincing in pain through all of this three dances. But fortunately, Hope Solo became the sacrificial lamb. Smell ya later, Hope.
Watching the opening credits I have some thoughts. 1) I forgot Elisabetta Canalis was on this show. 2) Did you guys know that K. Cav is again engaged to Jay Cutler??!! Personally I think that breakup was all for publicity. But maybe that’s just me.
The stars are entering the ballroom. Rob looks nervous. J.R. has his game face on. And Ricki look fab! This show has really done wonders for her! The celebrities first have to take on a dance that they haven’t done yet, which I think is a first for the finals. So this should be interesting!
Finals here we come!!!
