believe it or not...
I am thankful to be alive
I am thankful that I am almost always in good health, that I am rarely ill, and that I am not crippled or impaired in any way...
I am glad that I am not poor, and that the only things I fret about are ultimately trivial comforts and items of pleasure rather than survival...I know how good I have it and I cannot let myself forget that...
I am thankful (and confident) that even though my career has disappointment on the whole, that it has given me invaluable experience and knowledge that I can use in the future to do something that will truly make me feel like I have found my place in the world, and that I am really "giving something back"...I need this feeling more than I can describe to anyone...
I have been unlucky in love, but I am comfortable as a single person, and am thankful that I do not languish in aloneness as much as I did...I am thankful that despite this solitude, I still have the unwavering belief that "someday" I will find someone who will love me completely, and I will be happy(ier)...
My parents love me very much, I know this as fact, and I am thankful they raised me as they did (for the most part)...I have not suffered a significant loss in my family for many years, and I thank God for watching over them while cannot be with them...
I am not in jail
I am still optimistic by default, which surprises me as much as I am thankful for it (is that even a sentence?)...I get down often, but I am resiliant and strong more often in the face of defeats or failure...
I am thankful that I can make people laugh
I have a million things that I hate about my life, my choices, my past, etc, but I can't ignore how successful and lucky I've been, and that's the main reason I made this post. Its unlike me to do stuff like this and that's a main reason I felt I needed to do it.
It may surprise some of you, but I still believe in God, and I still believe he protects and blesses me every day that I am alive and well...I don't think its coincidence, I really feel it, and that's another thing I'm thankful for: the ability to look through at my life through someone else's eyes, because if I wasn't able to do that I probably would have killed myself a long time ago...
...I'm not writing this post because its fashionable in any way...I'm writing it because I really am that lucky, and I do think its important to sit back and take stock of your life once in a while...since today is supposed to be that day, hey, why not? I'll put it to good use...
and that is my sugar and spice for the year ladies and gents...I mean every word of it...now go drink too much wine for me cause I can't have any!
