I’m Thankful For…

Okay, for the sake of full disclosure I feel that if I were a battery, I’d be totally drained.  I love this blog more than anything but have been so emotionally exhausted and mentally busy with a new internship-job-thingie,  finishing up my MA degree and an intense 10 days of exams, guests in town and pre-holiday insanity.

You ever feel that you want to say something profound and you just don’t have the emotional gumption to do so?

I totally do.  Life is wonderful, I’m not complaining.  Even on my worst days, it’s not that bad.  I’m doing what I want to do and have no regrets.

People say – if you can’t say something nice, don’t say it at all.  

I say – If you can’t be creative, just be grateful.

So here’s what I’m thankful for:

• Being chosen to receive an AMAZING Canon Rebel Digital Camera for my stories about Gram! THANK YOU SITSGirls!
• Finding a vet that might be able to really help Ralphie-pug get better
• Having an emergency fund to pay for the procedure he needs
• Catching the train at the last minute
• The gorgeous hue of yellow that takes over my street as the leaves fall
• The library!
• Chatting on Twitter (y’all know who you are)
• Knee-high socks and patterned tights (adorable and warm!)
• Hot chocolate  (sometimes the spiked kind!)
• Flannel sheets
• Beet Salads. Yup, I said Beet salads.
• Post-It notes
• Emails from my Dad (usually saying that he’s sending a new type of dog food for Ralph to try)
• That awesome feeling when you realize that you’re happy being single
• @Sooverdebt & her ability to make me LOL in class
• Being a part of Yakezie  (I cannot wait to be a real member!)
• The fact that I’m not getting my Ph.D. after all
• Vitamins.  Thank God for vitamins
• Friends who kindly have guest posted for me- Kylie & Julie, thank you!
• Star Trek The Next Generation (It goes on forever!)
• Pandora Radio
• All the survey takers that will help me decide the new direction for this blog- here!

and finally…. That the new MUPPETS MOVIE IS COMING OUT!  Now enjoy you some Muppety goodness!
