I know that Thanksgiving is the traditional time to talk about what you're thankful for, but since I have issues with that holiday, I prefer to express my thankfulness around Christmas. Though there are a lot of things going on in the world to be upset about, there's still plenty to be thankful for. And people say I'm a negative bitch. Ha!
People and things I'm thankful for, in no particular order:
I'm thankful for my girlfriend, who is beautiful, smart, funny, and sweet, and has the best laugh I've ever heard.
I'm thankful for my family, especially my mom and grandma, who love me no matter what, and are always there to listen.
I'm thankful for my daughter and my "stepkids", for helping me to realize what's really important.
I'm thankful for my job. I didn't have one at this time last year, and I'm very happy that I found one with such a great company.
I'm thankful that Al Gore invented the Internet, because I can use it to find out pretty much anything I want to know, and I've met some really awesome people that share some of my interests. Thanks, Al.
I'm thankful that all those people over there on the left have 'blogs. They continue to entertain and inspire me on a daily basis, even if I'm too lazy to recreate links to them over here. Heh.
I'm thankful for my big brother Shawny. He's the best big brother a girl could ask for.
I'm thankful for my best friend Shane, even though he has only posted like one comment here, ever. He's cute, though, so I forgive him for being a dirty lurker.
I'm thankful for my supercool mad pimpin' friend Steve, who totally hooked a sista up with this job. He doesn't have a website, either, AND he's a dirty lurker, but he's really hot so I forgive him for lurking, too.
I'm thankful for all of my friends at the artists' colony. We're like a little family, except that we're all insane, artistic to varying degrees, and amazingly attractive.
I'm thankful for all of my friends everywhere, virtual and non, geographically near or far away.
I'm thankful for my car. This of course ties in to my thankfulness for my job, because without the job I wouldn't have been able to buy the car. I love the way this car handles so much, it's almost a pleasure driving in L.A. traffic. (I'm dead serious.) I promised the car that if she's good, one day I might bring home a nice German friend for her to frolic with.
I'm thankful that I'm alive and (relatively) healthy, that I am able to have some of the above creature comforts, and that I'm able to share what I have with others.
I'm thankful for a whole mess of other stuff too, but I think I'll keep them private. Either that, or I've gotten so senile that I can't remember what else I was going to say.
Merry Xmas.
