Hmm, this week (and last week) I am thankful for:
1. That I still have a home, food, and loving family even with the fianchial stress I've brought on myself.
2. I'm guaranteed a job until October 2009, when the grant ends.
3. My mother's cancer was removed and so far isolated.
4. That I've begun on the road of real acceptance, damn it's quiet over there.
5. Good times for
ursamajorra6. That American Express are real assholes, just like everyone else!
7. To have the support of my coworkers in the face of personal strife
8. Finally picking a Christmas tree! Hopefully it's small enough!
9. To have the Christmas season arrive well even if it had hiccups.
10. Having finally seen true accomplishment, and god damnit for getting all the spiderwebs out of my head. Now if I can only get them out of my basement. . . . .
11. For the ability to smile every day and see the world, really see it and enjoy it.
12. That rugrat's morning plight Wednesday was just that - falling out of bed. :/ I just wish I knew why she was upset and hysterical for a good hour last night. The only word I understood was "everybody"
13. The "temperance" to learn to slowly regain control of my temper WITHOUT MEDS!
14. The ability to help others and get my international
holiday_wishes out in the mail. (the domestics will be going out early next week)
15. A kick ass job performance review - even if all raises have been suspended for the year - despite a year of challenging personal hell.
16. For being med free for at least a month now and feeling just fine (well fine overall, everyone's got bad days :P, shesh who do you think i am Buddha?)
17. For being salary and good enough at my job that I can afford a days (or two days) worth of goofing off at work!
18. For new friends (*waves*) and old friends coming and going and being able to recenter myself regardless of the transitions. Learning that I am not defined by the status and success of my friendships. Damn that was a hard ars lesson to learn! Or I'm that dense - it only took me 4.5 years.
19. Having a supportive family, even if they are all insane! Like me! Especially my husband. Regardless of past mistakes, differences, and mutual stubbornness, I would truly be lost without him. And that is a good thing. :D
20. That it's going to snow this week! I HOPE!
21. Really really really good sex. *sighs contently*
22. I think I'll just leave it at the good sex
What are you thankful for?
