The holidays are rough for me. I try to find joy and be thankful every day of the year. It's part of my religious and spiritual beliefs, and it's part of my nature. But, that being said, I suppose it won't hurt to play along with random thankfulness huh? So, 10 random things I am thankful for (in no particular order)(with credit to my Toasty Toes friend for coming up with or passing on the idea).
1. Fanfic. It keeps me occupied in short bursts of time. Unlike novels which, if they are interesting enough, occupy me so thoroughly the house could burn around me and I would not notice.
2. Twilight. I hear you laughing.
3. Friends who stick it out with you even when you're a ninny.
4. Coffee. C'mon, you didn't think I'd leave coffee off any happy list did you?
5. Free Coke glasses. Even though I had to eat McDonalds to get them, which makes them not free, I am happy for them. Especially the purple one.
6. Words like "ninny" and "bugger" which I'd never use except that British people on TV use them and I like them.
7. Glee. Who wouldn't like a show called "GLEE". The name implies happy. Dh doesn't like it, which brings me to my next thankful thing.
8. Having something all to yourself. I'm all for sharing, but when nobody WANTS to share, that's sometimes really nice.
9. Curry. I think I'll start a pot of curry lentils right now in fact. I also think I'll throw in potatoes and carrots, just for fun. I think I have a lonely piece of Naan bread in the freezer even.
10. Last but not least, neighbors. I wouldn't have potatoes without good neighbors. I wouldn't be going to New Moon on Friday without good neighbors. My kids would be more sheltered and confined without good neighbors.
