I am THANKFUL for...

s0litude · 03-22-2013, 12:45 PM

With all of the "bad stuff" that we all face day in and day out, it's easy to lose track of all of the good things in our lives. I was told once that if we take a moment to stop and think of at least three good things that we can be thankful for on a daily basis, our moods will generally improve. For me, that starts today.

So here's what I have to offer, and I hope others will join me on this by listing their own-- and listing them regularly so we can all share in the smiles.

Try to think of at least three-- more if you're able.

I am thankful for:

Bold, fiesty femmes who tell you just how it is because butches/bois/ and transmen can be dense sometimes-- c'mon, ya know it's true!
Great coffee
The laughter of loved ones
Friends who know and see your flaws-- and love you despite them
A nation that provides resources for those who are temporarily set back or permanently disabled so no one has to suffer if they know where to look
Coconut-scented hair care products; the smell of vanilla and lavender and citrus; fresh cut grass;freshly-baked bread; the smell of a baby's skin as well as puppy and kitten breath
The ability to comprehend new ideas and thoughts and find new ways of viewing things, new perceptions
My dad-- my hero
Pajamas fresh out of the dryer, all warm and snuggly
Sarcasm-- because I don't think I'd survive this world without it
Medusa, Linus, and others who make this site-- and the possibility for making new friends and alliances-- possible

Freedom, love and coffee!

I have a lot to be thankful for including the determination I have been given to tough it out and chase after my dreams, wonderful friends, an accepting community and travel experiences that have influenced me on so many levels.

Ceiling fans...
A refreshing cool bath...
Oversized fluffy towels...
A big picture window overlooking the fields as I lounge half naked, after my bath, with the breeze from the fan drying my skin...
A well stocked pantry and dinner in the crock...
Fresh veggies from the most beautiful garden you've ever seen...
Homemade smoothies...

Making a phone call about a mistake with a hospital bill and being told "you should have NEVER been billed for that, I will take care of it immediately".

My honey lamb is letting me use her car and she is driving her truck until I can scrape enough together for a down payment on an affordable reliable vehicle.
For most of both of our lives this would have been impossible but now it isn't. It took a lot of hard work to get here and for that improvement, the car and my honey lamb I am very grateful

Thankful, for the loving people and friends in my life who listen. We all need them, time to time.

P.s.....I'm a great listener too
