Things I am Grateful For
Lily when's she's talking in the next room. " i love you, good girl. Mom, mom, mom i love you. Have kisses?"
Thor sitting in front of the bearded dragon tank, completely enthralled with them. He so wants to play with them. He even tries to give them kisses. He loves all the other critters in the house and checks on each of them to make sure everything is ok.
Tessa rolling on her back for tummy rubs and being so excited to see me every morning. Nothing can make my heart flip like seeing her smile. Well, except DB's smile but it's a close second.
Perch coming to sit on my lap while i'm basking in the sun. i love listening to her purr.
Rex giving me kisses and making the kiss, kiss noise.
Shelby letting me give her skritches after hating me for a year.
Georgie being happy when his girl is playing with him. And finally learning to trust someone who loves him dearly.
Pokey dancing and giving kisses.
Mr Gosh fluttering his wings cause he's happy to see me.
Bean....well, he's still being a hormonal teenager, but he is lovely to look at and sweet to cuddle when he's in the mood for it.
Ozzy and Sharon eating side by side from their treat cups. It's so damn cute and they are so beautiful.
Orchids in beautiful bloom and smelling so lovely.
Genni who is still sticking with us, who still has the energy to play and make us laugh. And her hair is starting to grow back. Maybe she'll be with us for a while yet. i'm glad she decided to stick around even though she's lost her best friend.
My community and the people in it. Even though it sometimes makes me crazy, sad, mad, angry and frustrated, it is the only place i can really be me. It has taught me so much about myself, opened my eyes to the many different types of people out there and taught me acceptance.
People who really do try to hear both sides of the story. And know that good intentions do count for something.
My health holding relatively steady. Not having to go for MRI's every six months anymore.
My friends who do such wonderful things for me. Who tell me they love me, listen to me vent and help make everything ok. Who remind me, every day, why i do what i do. They are the people who keep me sane, give me a kick when i need it, cry with me and most importantly, laugh with me.
Road trips. 'nuff said. You know why.
My Love who can still take my breath away. In the most wonderful ways. Who knows everything there is to know about me and loves me anyway. Who has always been there and has never let me down where it really counts.
Living to see 44 years of age. i didn't think i'd make it this far.
Lily, who just came over, looked at the computer screen and asked "Whatcha doing Mom?"
"Writing sappy posts on the internet".
Lily: "It's ok, it's ok, have kisses, good girl".
Yup, i have many things to be grateful for.
How about you?
