It's been a long week. And I've had a LOT of bitching and moaning going on this week. So, I must say I am GLAD it's things I am thankful Thursday!!
1) I am thankful that my glasses will be here next week. Even though I can see with my old pair of glasses, and actually I don't even wear them that often, I cannot wait to get this new pair in! I see sooooo much better while driving at night with them!
2) I am thankful that really the only thing I have to stress about is money. Yes, money makes the world go round. And yes, I have to have money to live. However, it could be worse! I could be living in a box... I could have an incurable and terminal illness. I could have absolutely nothing or nobody in my life. But instead I have friends, family, a roof over my head, transportation, and enough money to get me by day to day.
3) I know this one is silly, but I am thankful for my dogs. They love me unconditionally. I can come home from a rough day at school/work, tell them I hate them and that they are ass holes, and they still come running up to me excited to see me, and with love in their eyes. They are definitely like my babies/children. Definitely my best friends, after Brad of course.
4) I am thankful for the way my parents raised me. It wasn't always easy as I was the first born, therefore the guinea pig. But they taught me that respect is earned, but at the same time, you need to give people the benefit of the doubt. They taught me that you have to work hard to get by. Not to judge people. To be independent because you never know when you will have only yourself to depend upon. To speak your mind even if others disagree. Stand up for yourself. No matter what, you are beautiful. Getting spanked or grounded wasn't a bad thing. Well, it was at the time, but now I realize that it was an important part of them trying to teach me. Even though both parents have been far from perfect, I'm very thankful that they raised me well.
5) I am thankful for the chance to ever have lived in CA. I miss it like crazy. Especially with all the dirt, wind, and cold temps here in TX. And I may never live in CA again. But I've come to the decision that that's okay. It was fun, it taught me some things, I met some awesome people there, I decided to go back to school while I was there. Had I never moved to CA I don't know if I would have learned the things I did about myself and others, I definitely wouldn't have met the awesome people I did, I might not have decided to go back to school. So I'm very thankful for that experience.
And that's that for this Thursday! ;) Like I said last Thursday, no negative nonsense on my thankful Thursday's! So I leave you with my positiveness! <3
