Happy Thanksgiving
I hope everyone is enjoying this day of thanks. I know I will be.
I’d like to take a minute to say what I’m thankful for this year (yeah, I know it’s totally sappy but it’s been a long hard year for me…so… bear with me).
Despite the fact I got divorced this year, I have to admit that it’s the best thing that’s happened to me. My writing has been better than usual, I’ve sold two books (and am hopeful for a third). I bought my very own house. I bought new furniture. I got a raise and a promotion at my Day Job. I’m dating The Man (a restraunt manager who has very little time but still manages to squeeze me in. Wow that sounded odd…). And I have my son who’s just the center of my universe. It’s been rocky and it’s been wild but it’s been exhilirating. I’m thankful every day I have what I have and I’m not out on the street because things could have gone from bad to worse. But I managed and I’m still here. And for the first time in a very long time, I’m happy.
So. What are you thankful for this year?
I’m thankful to have made it through what was, for me, also a very rough year.
And having the day off from the sucky day job!!
Woooooo!!!!!!
I am thankful for such wonderful friends that support me when I need it - let me bitch when I want to and kick me in the butt when I deserve it
Well, my Thanksgiving has already come and gone, but I’m going to join in anyhow! :)
I am thankful for my mental breakdown. Strange as it sounds, it has given me a completely new outlook on life, has forced me to make myself a priority. My rehabilitation has given me tools to make me strong - and I feel more confident and capable than I ever did before. I have also had the time to focus on what I want to do instead of customer’s problems, and I have started my own business! So, my quarter-life crisis has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me (even though it certainly didn’t feel like it at first) and I’m thankful for it.

I am thankful for my family, my home, my health and my friends.
(((Leigh))) I can relate though it wasn’t a breakdown, just a ton of health stuff. I’m just thankful I feel like a human being again and that I have great writing sisters :) and great, healthy kids!
