My Thanksgiving post

[darkfyre_muse]

just a week late.

Tonight I realized that I hadn't done a real "I am thankful for" post last week. And I really have too amazing of a life to not be enthusiastically thankful. So here it is.

I am thankful that I have the world's most understanding husband.
He puts up with alot somedays and that deserves gratitude.
I am thankful for oceansfire.
The world's best sister and quite possibly the coolest person I know.
My first and bestest friend.
(These first two fall into that category where enough thanks can not be given, because their absence is unimaginable)

I am thankful that I have a family.
A large, boisterous, crazy family. Its has its issues, and those are often not
small nor inconsequential, but it is there and that counts for something.

I am thankful I have friends.
A raging collection of Burners and mommies and foodies and goat herders and OTP
survivors/instigators and SCA-dians and professionals and amateurs and believers and cat
people and dog people and theatre people and divers and artists
I used to always feel like I didn't have friends, and for a long while that was actually true. Thank you all for changing that.

I am thankful for all the freedoms, both small and otherwise, that I have and take for granted.

I am thankful for my brain and talent.

I am thankful for growth and self-discovery.
When I was 22 I thought I had 'found myself'. At 32 I know that its a process not a product.

I could honestly go on for quite a bit longer but this has now taken over an hour so I will leave it as it is for now.

I could not agree more with your sentiments! Thanks for voicing them! *hugs*

You made me...

...do the awful cry in my cube thing that makes me have the rare wish for a door. I feel the same and only hate that you moved cause I miss seeing you so much (and sleeping on your couch) and the fact that you have never met my current date sober and not in a compromising position. I'm so glad you got to go to the place that has all your amazing friends in it and that now and again I get to share your amazing friends.

hugs and kisses and fire and bubbles and giggles and tears and happy welcome to the euphoria club - we have everything you love and hate at the same time!!!
