Thankfulness Pt. 2
I realize I already posted a 'Thankfulness' thingamajiggy, but you can never, ever be overthankful, so here's the one I wrote for facebook.
---
I am thankful for my family, who I am lost without. I am thankful that it keeps expanding and I am especially thankful that I'm still able to walk across the hall and pound on Roger's door and annoy Kimber in the morning. I am also extremely thankful for my extended family and hope that everything will be okay soon. And my other extended family who are just awesome.
I am thankful for the weather. North Dakota heat wave!!
I am thankful for school, because even though adjusting to public school is friggin' difficult, it offers me challenges to face that I never would have if I had stayed homeschooled.
I am thankful for all my friends, those who have stuck by me for years even though I'm a lousy person to hang out with.
I am thankful for Rej because I never would have been able to adjust to public school without him. He puts up with my stupid questions and is extemely patient with me. I am also thankful for Dillon because he's just awesome. (See, I spelled it right this time!)
I'm thankful for Betty, who has done so much for me that I can't even fit it all in one place. I don't know what I did so that I would be blessed with her, but I am so thankful for it!
I'm thankful for CEF and the CYIAers. I love you guys!!
I am thankful that I still live in Pembina and that I haven't been moving all over anymore. Being able to settle down and put down roots is so amazing, it's something I've never been able to do before. And the thought of leaving Pembina some day still leaves a huge ache in my heart.
I'm thankful for fanfiction because it allows me to express myself, connect to other people, have a livejournal and an AO3 and it opens my eyes to new ways of thinking. And I am thankful for all my betas over the last year: Mam711, Reader128 and SherlockXHolmes23. And I'm thankful for all the people who fanfic has connected me too, and for every single review I've gotten over the years.
I am thankful for delicious.com. Oh yes, I am.
I am EXTREMELY thankful for both HDA and Bonanzabrand. Because I know that if I log onto either, I will always start laughing. I have never met any of the members from either forum, but they have prayed for my silbings when they were in the car accident, have prayed for my nephew who is in the hospital, has rejoiced with me when all my nephews were born and have helped me celebrate my birthday every year.
I'm thankful for my dice, 'cause they keep me entertained and help me be unique.
I am thankful for my churches, 'cause they are awesome. I am also thankful for the church library, because it helps me deal with life.
I am thankful for my teaches, because they are so patient with me. I ask questions when I don't understand something which means I am askiong a whole lot of questions and they answer them every single time.
I am thankful for my life because no matter what has happened, it has made me grow. The pain has been hard, and almost impossible at times, but it has made me into the person I am. And I will continue to grow.
I am thankful for music, especially The Classic Crime (which I seem to listen to everyday), RED (who actually say something in the music instead of meaningless stuff that wastes your time), Fireflight, Krystal Meyers (who needs to come out with more music...please?), TFK, The Letter Black, Children 18:3....and the list goes on.
I am thankful for my bedroom, my very own space, because when life gets overwelming, I need to just be alone. So I do.
I am thankful for tears. Since I cry a lot, I consider it healthy. Leave me alone in my fantasy. :)
I am thankful for the Bible Study Group in PA, they stood by us in the most difficult times of our lives and that means more to me than I will ever be able to say.
I am thankful for Charley Long. I knew him only six months, but never has one person impacted me so much. I love you Charley and I will see you on the other side!
I am thankful that God is good. I don't have a relationship with Him anymore, but I hope someday He will draw me back. And I know He's good, sometimes I don't see it because I don't know what He's doing, and I'm not gonna lie I feel so friggin' betrayed by Him, but He's good. It's a truth I have clung to in the last two years. He is real. He is good. The only two things I know about Him right now.
