Stephanie sits down at her computer lounges on the couch with her laptop overheating in her lap. She checks her e-mail checks to see if she has a new e-mail from Mike even though she know she doesn’t. She gets an IM from a guyfriend from college which leads her to reminiscing about a blog her college friends started 4 years ago, and reading those early entries. She tries to find songs to suggest to her friend who’s getting married in a month for background music during the reception. Than, because she promised herself she’d jump back on the horse she checks her WP account which she hasn’t touched in months.
ahem.
Last night my beautiful roommate Abby, in an attempt to encourage me out of my current worry/stress induced slump, told me 10 things that I should be thankful for. And as she said, they are not in order because that would take too much brain power. (It was midnight and I hadn’t been able to sleep) So here goes.
1) Mike. I have a wonderful young man who is in love with me and who’ll be home in LESS THAN A WEEK. In Abby’s words, less is a beautiful word to be able to put in front of week.
2) My job. I have a great job that I enjoy with bosses that value me and that pays me more than adequately.
3) A roof over my head, and the knowledge that I’d never have to do without one.
4) A family that although is somewhat non-traditional is always there for one another.
5) I have my physical health.
6) 3 fabulous roommates who love and support me.
7) I have intelligence and reason. Or at least Abby says I do ;).
8 ) I have scars, both physical and emotional that show that I’m a survivor and that is a cause for hope.
9) I have a cat and cats are cute.
10) I can dance. I have something in my life that can bring me great joy.
So what are your ten? Seriously, if you read this, no matter how you happened this way, I encourage you to comment with then things you are grateful for in your life. What fun!
