What I am Thankful for this year:
1)My very good friend, Lisa. She’s been there for me so much lately. Encouraging me to keep working hard and making me laugh when I feel like total shit.
2)My neighbors, who spend their evenings giving support to one another and being an understanding community!
3)My sister, Brittany, because she’s amazing. She has been so helpful and caring this past year. When I’ve needed a distraction, she’s taken me out to shop, or eat, or just talk.
4)My Tiny Man, who for some reason is licking my knee, right now. I love him so much and am so glad that I am able to take care of him. He’s gotta be the best kitty baby ever!!
5)Communication with my family. Even though, it’s just text messages here and there, I am glad that my mama talks to me at all. I love getting text messages from her and get so excited to read them.
6)Gateway. Though it stresses me out at times, I dunno where I’d be without them. Because of Gateway, I have my own apartment and can afford it. Gateway gave me my job at Furman, and it has been a struggle at times, but I am making money that I am saving up for a car.
7)The people that are working at Starbucks today, and served yummy coffee/espresso drinks to my friends and me this morning.
8)The sunshine. Though yesterday’s snow was pretty, I am so glad that the sun came out for my friends and me to walk to Starbucks.
9)The support and donations, I got for suicide prevention this Fall. I’m so excited that so many people were able to support my fundraising efforts and understood how much Out of the Darkness means to me.
10)And the calmness of today. Yes, calmness on a holiday. I may not of done the traditional stuff my face, family chaos that we call love, and then go into a food/stress coma. But I had a good day. I got to go on a walk, see friends, play with my cat, make an advent calendar, and in a little while I’m gonna spend time with my sister. Maybe traditional just isn’t for me.
