GIVE THANKS

Happy Thanksgiving! It's always seemed funny that we have one specific day where we are mandated to be thankful for stuff. Shouldn't we keep in mind what we're thankful for all the time? Except we don't. Myself included. It's so easy to forget how much we have that's good. So of course, I've spent a lot of time thinking about what I'm thankful for.

I'm thankful for having a a family that I want to come home to, spend time with, laugh with and love.

For my goofy ass David. My love.

For the amount of love I get from my friends.

For my health, and my family and friends' health.

For my doggy, who let me snuggle with her for hours yesterday. Probably didn't hurt that I was scratching her tummy. She sure didn't get the shit end of the stick there.

For my education.

For having a job where I get to make a difference to people. And coworkers that make the day fun....and help me fix the copier when it's broken (usually a user error...).

For getting to take a nap in front of my fireplace yesterday.

For the police who came so quickly when someone broke into my apartment the other day. I may have to retract my previous statement on hating cops. Maybe they don't suck.

For Netflix (although they took away seasons 1-8 of Law and Order: SVU. Don't think I haven't sent in a complaint.)
