So it's that time of year again. The time when we are all reminded to think about the things we are thankful for. I've had a FML seriously bitter attitude lately...but when I really stop to think about things I am actually pretty damned lucky. I may not necessarily see eye to eye with all (ok most) of my family members, but I do have some family that is absolutely amazing. I may not be rich and live some extravagant life, but I make enough money to survive. I may not get to see all of my close friends as frequently as I like, but I am fortunate to have pretty spectacular people in my life. The heater in our house may not work right now, but I do have a roof over my head (and for all of my complaining, I do live in Texas so it isn't really that bad).
I could sit here and come up with a really long list of things that I bitch about on a regular basis, and then I could probably come up with a list more than twice as long of things I am grateful for. I wonder what it says about me that I've just stopped to consider this right now, right before Thanksgiving? I'm pretty sure I should start focusing on the more positive aspects of my existence, and attempt to be less selfish and whiny.
Everyone has bad days, and I'm not going to try to kid myself and say that I'm always going to be a ray of sunshine...but I'm gonna try a bit harder. That's my Thanksgiving Resolution. Starting now, I'm giving my blogland buddies permission to (virtually) kick me in the ass whenever I start getting out of control with whining/complaining/bitching. So there's something for you to look forward this holiday season.
Hope you all have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.
*ducky hugs*
