Catching up and Thanksgiving
I have been slowly trying to catch up with my Vox neighbors. I have let so much time slide by since I did any posting of my own. I have started commenting on other blogs, but I still did not feel ready to create my own post.
I am still a mix of jumbled thoughts, but Thanksgiving gives me something I can use as a focal point.
I have so much to be thankful for that I know I could never think of everything to be able to write it all down. There are many things that I am sure I would totally overlook and not realize just how thankful I should be about them.
I will always be thankful for my family, past and present. I am thankful for my friends, they are such good friends that I often wonder if I can ever be as good a friend to them as they are to me.
I am thankful for the 'Good old Days'. I am thankful for each new day.
I am thankful for the bad times too, because they help me to appreciate the good times.
I have noticed recently that my eyes are getting worse and I am in definite need of a new prescription for my glasses, but despite this I am thankful that I have eye sight at all.
I am still working, I am truly thankful for that. It is still iffy as to how long it will last, but I know that my coworkers/project managers are trying to keep me working. I say a silent thank you for that each and every day.
My parents are each in good health for their ages, this is definitely something to be thankful for.
My sister and I still get along more often than we don't, this is also a plus.
I have pets to snuggle with and to cheer me up when I am feeling down.
I have a wonderful neighborhood here on Vox and I am thankful to Six Apart for making this possible.
I am thankful I have a home, I have electric, I have water, I have heat, I have food in the pantry and in the refrigerator. I have a car that still runs, with only minor repairs so far.
I am thankful that despite problems here and there with my health, none of the problems are so severe that I can not enjoy my life.
I am also very thankful that I live in the USA, and that there are people who work everyday to make sure I do not ever loose the freedoms I get to enjoy.
