Thanksgiving

I wanted to do this while I was on vacation but as the saying goes – Time Flies when you’re having fun. Anyway, since it is the season and I believe that Thanksgiving is an important holiday, despite the fact that it hasn’t been over commercialized to the point of frantic paced shopping hell, I wanted to list a few things that I am thankful for this year.

1. Always and forever I am thankful for the gift of love personified in the hubster. Despite the fact that I have been rather cranky lately, he has been extremely patient with me even though he has had his own set backs. Dude, that teacher is an asshat not to recognize. You know that, I know that.
2. Kitties three – I am thankful to them for keeping me humble and for them reminding me that sometimes it isn’t really all about me. It’s all about them. It’s a nice reality check about my place in the universe when one of them scampers on me brain pan at 2 AM. They too are patient with me (all though, not as patient as the hubster) and they are cute and furry and make this wonderful purring noise when they fall asleep on me. They play this to their full advantage.
3. My parents – first, for adopting this stray and for the nurturing throughout the years. Also, for putting up with me when I do get cranky and the support and counseling on the things that have been going on which I will not mention here. Sometimes it is nice to bounce things off of someone else’s head besides the hubsters.
4. His parents – for the financial help when we needed, for listening when we needed and for the over all welcome I have all ways felt from them both.
5. A renewed friendship that has just taken place. I had no idea how much I missed this friend until she came back into my life.
6. Virtual friends – to all those that have touched my life… you have all had a much more profound impact on me than I will ever lead you to believe. It’s a short coming of mine, but I am working on it. Just don’t want to seem all sappy.
7. My job – as much as I bitch about it, I am glad to have it. It’s a good job in a nice place… it can sometimes be overwhelmingly stressful as it tests my skills, but I walk away with more knowledge, and that’s not such a bad payoff. Plus – hey! Paycheck. Ya gotta like that – besides, it helps repay the financial help received in number 4.

I know there is more, I just have work to do, so I can’t get into it now. Anyway, I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday. I know I did. And I beat the ghostie chick into submission… who is the mack mommy – hells yeah, I am!

PS: Just in case some of you have F.E.A.R. on your wish list for Christmas – it is a great heavy spooky atmospheric wild ride, but it seemed really short. That’s all I am saying about it, don’t want to spoil it.
