Instead of having a pity party about where I want to be tomorrow and can't because work won't give me Saturday off, so traveling is out of the question. I'm thinking I am thankful for at least having a place to go for the holiday, so I don't have to sit home and sulk about where I can't be. It was nice of a co-worker to invite me for yet another year of Thanksgiving with her family. I get a kick out of her young grandson and miss being around kids sometimes. He's just started walking a couple months ago and I take his little hands in mine and we walk and we walk or at least we did last time he visited me.
I am very thankful I have an open heart again and an energy about me to keep moving in a positive direction.
I'm thankful to have a job, whether it be part time or not.
Work keeps me moving in that positive direction and I'd be bored if I had to sit home.
I'm thankful for my chosen family, some of them know when I need a shout out or a text or a phone call.
I'm thankful for everyday I wake and can see another sun rise or sun set.
