I was supposed to do this a couple of days ago...but here is my DAY SEVEN of thankfulness. I do have to say, I have a lot more to be thankful for than the three things each day for seven days…but I will end it for with these three: 1) NATURE-Summer in Florida is a bit of a pill…but the winters are fabulous. I believe The Universe has created something for each person be it mountains, rivers, streams, beaches, hills, valleys, flowers, a kick ass sunset, etc… Nature and music are my versions of the Almighty Being that has many names. I am very happy when I am walking in the morning, waking up with the birds and seeing the bats fly back to their homes before the sun fully rises. There is something so fascinating to me about nature: hiking, kayaking, camping, etc…In the famous words of one of my favorite people “Mother Nature is the most beautiful thing on earth.” (paraphrasing) 2) EMPLOYMENT/SELF-RELIANCE: Granted I always joke that I would LOVE to fall in love with a man with astronomical amounts of money and just be doted on, but truth is…I like to work. Yes, my job (like all our jobs) gets monotonous and you have your good days and bad days, but all in all, I like the people I work with. I have wonderful benefits and I can take care of myself (pay bills, go on vacations, pay bills, buy nice stuff every once in a while, pay bills). I like knowing I can take care of myself. I don’t need no man to provide for me. :) I can provide for myself and be reliant on myself and that makes me feel very thankful. 3) MY RESILIENCE: I have had a lot of shit slung my way…mainly self-induced proverbial shit, and yet, I get up, dust myself off and try again. I am blessed with a support system like no other. A family that loves me. Friends who are pillars, but all in all…I have learned that I’m a pretty strong cookie. I learn every single day something amazing about how I handle things…so differently than I did a year ago, or even two weeks ago...Im growing better with each day. I’m human and this IS life…bad with the good…but I’m a resilient little bugger. I know this world has something so fabulous in store for me and I am so excited to see what it is, and discover things about myself, and meet new people and see new sights…life is such a weird play and we are all actors playing our parts…it is unscripted and just an improv, really. Not many people could make the changes that I’ve made since the beginning of the year and come out smiling. I know this, and I’m very proud of myself, which is something I haven’t been in quite some time. I hope that I try to find the bright light inside me at all times. I look forward to what life is going to throw my way, and I hope to share my joy and bring out the best in all I meet. So all in all…I’m just thankful for being me.
