As we enter into the week of Thanksgiving 2006, I find myself pondering what I have to be thankful for. And usually I say "I really don't know." But last night as I was laying in bed with the company of Grey's Anatomy Reruns on the tele, I realized life could be a whole lot worse. I mean, I know everything that is holding me back and I have the power to seek the help that I need, I just lack the motivation. But maybe I don't lack the motivation. Maybe I'm just afraid to be happy with myself.
Actually, if I look back at this year, work related issues aside, pet deaths aside too, it's been a pretty good year. I moved out of my parent's house and learned I can live on a budget. I met some new people, I became a little more self sufficient, and I lost half a pound!!!! Wow! How did I do that? I really don't know. But who cares. Cause I did. I'll probably gain it back later today though.
So here is a list of things I am thankful for, either within the last year or just in general:
1.) My friends more than anything. I love them. The top 2 especially. They know who they are.
2.) Not getting pregnant. No babies from this stork.
3.) TMLMTBGB. That's my favorite weekend activitiy hang out thingy.
4.) My Nephew
5.) Cereal
6.) Beer, but liquor in general
7.) My warm fuzzy slippers that I couldn't find last night.
8.) Grey's Anatomy, The L Word, and Weeds. They keep me entertained.
9.) Chilli Dip.
10.) Not Dying
11.) Not ending up in a church somehow.
12.) Living in Chicago where people are pretty open minded.
13.) Music
14.) My green gloves from the adorable Tanya.
15.) My car hasn't died yet.
16.) Diet Coke.
Okay there is a list of 16. Maybe I'll add more later. But I think 16 is pretty good for off the top of my head while I'm supposed to be working. Don't you?
