karmicdragonflySince today is Thanksgiving, it is not a bad time to think about what I'm thankful for....
First on the list, and some of the most important items: I have enough food, clean water and shelter. And my life is generally comfortable. Health is generally good.
I had friends stay the night last night, during when I got to meet the new significant other of a friend. It's nice to have friends who want to introduce me to their new significant others - friends whom I'm important enough to for them to want to introduce me to their new relationships.
I have a Thanksgiving meal with friends later today.
The family Thanksgiving for this weekend is in jeopardy because the sister that usually does all the cooking is very sick with a virus. But I am thankful for seeing how my other sister and I have been texting her this week to make sure she is okay and to offer advice. And even if we don't do the 'big meal' this weekend, I still may go visit her to spend some time with her.
Thankful that I have friends who have thought enough to send me Thanksgiving greetings today. And thankful that I am still capable of making new friends.
Thankful that I have hobbies like photography and learning languages. Thankful that I have the spare time, the interest, the mental facilities to do those.
Now....if I could only be thankful for having to go out for exercise to use up all those extra calories from today!
