a little off topic- but oh well. i am thankful that i dont like to bleach my teeth florecent white so they can glow whenever i open my mouthi am thankful that my car tire hasnt exploded yet since i didnt see all the wear on iti am thankful that i have the time and finances to get my car fixedi am thankful that i have worked hard this semester in school so even if i only make a minimal effort to study for my exams i will still get b's in both classes. im proud because i started a new job, started school and moved to a new area in a span of 4 months. b's are not too shabby. i am thankful that i feel comfortable being in my own company - so many of my friends do not feel comfortable being alone. i cant imagine that. i am thankful that i have a bed to sleep in and that i can rest a little this weekend. i faced everything this week - even if i had to call and cancel- and i am proud of me. i am thankful that when i go to the grocery store i have the money to buy the things i need (and some i dont need). i am thankful that i am able to spoil the foster cats. i am thankful that i stepped away from virtual volunteering for awhile so i could focus on volunteering in this area in a crisis center. its just another way i am looking out for me. i am thankful that i am not afraid to be assertive.i am thankful that i am sending out holiday cards this year- and that i have people to send them to. i am thankful for my best friend, who, even in spite of his inability to take responsibility for his actions still loves me and wants me to be happy. i am thankful for my laptop. i am thankful that every day i am starting to see the beauty of me. it helps me, especially on my off days. one of my weaknesses is loving too much and opening myself up to hurt. ive spent a lot of time healing because of that. but i have also seen and felt some pretty amazing things too. the crying shouldnt take away from the positive memories. sometimes it does for me. but it shouldnt. may we all have a safe comfortable place where we can rest our head. cheers- me
