A good friend of mine died of breast cancer last week at the age of 35, so I’m feeling especially thankful for my husband and daughter and family and my health. I’m thankful that we have a refrigerator full of food and a warm house and two snuggly kitties.

I’m grateful that I don’t have to be a professor anymore and that my new writing career is off to a pretty good start… not nearly as good as I’d like, of course, but I’m building momentum and am always optimistic. I’m thankful that I’m going to be getting a wireless laptop this year for the holidays.

I love my mail man. Not only does he bring check, but also my Netflix movies and my compulsive Amazon book orders.

I’m thankful for my family, of course, and for my pet rabbits (I consider them family).

I’m thankful to have more work than I can handle.

I’m thankful for online shopping, especially this time of year.

I’m thankful (close your eyes boys) that I don’t have to wear a bra to work anymore.

And I’m particularly thankful that the holiday peppermint mocha coffee creamer is on the shelves.

And of course, I’m thankful for this blog and so many others that keep me able to procrastinate throughout the day.

Family, friends, et. al.

Pandora radio.

Gloria Jeans French Vanilla Supreme coffee.

Having a room in the house to call an office.

Clients who continue to send me work.

Football, baseball, and hockey in high definition.

Being able to start my work day later in the morning and work the hours that fit me best.

I’m thankful for this site where I’ve gotten all my jobs this year. I’m thankful that I can work in my Snoopy pj’s if I feel like it. Most of all I’m thankful for my husband who supported my career change.

I’m thankful for friends who also happen to computer whizes, boyfriends who contribute the “male perspective” to my dating articles, and coffeeshops that offer free wifi.

I’m thankful for my family. I’m thankful that I have finally learned to be comfortable in my own skin. I’m thankful that of all the things I’ve given up due to disability, I haven’t had to give up writing. I’m thankful for this blog, tho the only job I’ve gotten was Laray Carr. That’s o.k. Eventually, my turn will come. I’m thankful for my own blog.

And spell-check. Which I didn’t use and thus spelled “including” as “inlcuing”.

I’m also thankful for David Beckham, but after watching Love in the Time of Cholera, I’m becoming more thankful for Benjamin Bratt every day

I didn’t include my family in this post, because I felt it should go without saying but of course they the number one reason I’m thankful.

It’s so easy to get lost. I’m still struggling to make this writing thing work, it’s hard to keep disciplined, and it’s even harder to stay positive.

But then I remember how thankful I am…

to have a shot at my dreams

to have a husband who loves me and believes in me

to have words to comfort me

and friends to distract me.

THANKS!

I’m thankful for my kids. They’re the reason I started writing (professionally) and have been key to my motivation.
