There are so many things that I didn’t get to put into this piece that I am truly grateful for. Here is a short list of 40, just to name a few. I am thankful for:
- The way that keyboards sound when one is clicking the keys to write something fun.
- Access to a world of nonsense and reality on YouTube.
- Martinis, gummy bears and watching Celebrity Big Brother (all at the same time).
- Getting the hang of a new job (focusing on what I am doing right, instead of worrying about what I may be doing wrong).
- Playing with yarn and all its potential.
- New pens (in all colors) and new paper to write on.
- Cool mornings after a very hot summer.
- Friends who come to visit from out of town.
- To choose love over hate.
- The nostalgia of old movie theatres and the Golden Age films they run.
- A dust-free home.
- Kitty cat nudges when I am feeling blue and crying.
- Spending selective time with Ronn.
- Looking at pictures from my past adventures to Italy, Belgium, France, Savannah, New York, Alaska and beyond.
- Working from home at least one day a week (I get so much done and my chat time is replaced with laundry and dishes).
- Cooking Light magazine since they have a wealth of recipes and such great pictures to entice me to create.
- The aches the day after working out (makes me feel like I am really doing something great for my body).
- Catching up on reading other people’s blogs and discovering new ones.
- Hopes and dreams for a very happy future.
- Knowing my true love is out there waiting to find me too.
- Poetry (reading others and writing my own).
- Gray days when the skies have been so sunny (a contrast is nice sometimes).
- The crispness of celery (I love chomping on it and feeling satisfied and healthy at the same time, add some peanut butter and yummy doubled).
- New lipstick since it always makes me feel prettier.
- Catching up, with old friends I haven’t seen in a while and work buddies after a somewhat eventful weekend.
- Long road trips when I am not in a hurry with music blasting and a great talking companion.
- Helping others out whether it be a ride to a store or a reference for a new job.
- Connecting to the source that binds us all after feeling so alone.
- Scented showers after working out hard, or just working in the yard hard when I all sweaty and dirty.
- A good tuna salad sandwich with pickles.
- Cool days to knit in the park during lunch (we’ll be there soon – yippee).
- Friends with skills I don’t have like the ability to build work benches, set up a wireless network or cut hair.
- Neighbors that are truly helpful for both big and small things.
- John McCain picking that dimwit Palin because I am sure now he will lose and we will get our government back on the right track.
- The power of hope even during dark times (I know I wrote a piece on this before, but it is very important and needs to be repeated).
- Having books as some of my best friends.
- Still being friends with old boyfriends (it’s better than stalking and negative energy).
- Learning something new each day.
- Being alive especially when I feel like dying.
- Living in St. Pete.
