Overall, I’m a happy person although I am easily annoyed by many things. I thought, since this is Thanksgiving, that it would be a good time to think about what I am grateful for – this doesn’t really change much from year to year and I don’t actually post this year to year – but it’s good to focus on the positive.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
As many of you know I’m not a big fan of most holidays. I usually get Thai food for Thanksgiving, spend the day playing videogames, and think about the people that I care about.
So, here are 10 things I am thankful for this year.
I’m thankful for many things – my family, my health, weathering this year, and my friends. But, today being Thanksgiving and all (which I don’t really celebrate), I wanted to give a shout out to my friend Jim. Jim and I met three years ago when we both worked in Technical Support for the same company. We quickly realized that we shared the same sense of humor and had many similar interests even though there is quite an age difference between us. The actual job was ok but the management was horrific – laughing with Jim made it tolerable. I used to get the 4pm giggles over something ridiculous like a customer or one of our co-workers and would actually be scolded by our manager for laughing. Yeah, sorry I’m so happy.
Last week Vered at MomGrind wrote a post about being grateful and asked her readers to list three things that were right in their lives. Instead of listing the three things in the comments, I decided to write a post on the topic.
First, I have to say that I can’t stand complaining. Most of us don’t have anything all that serious to complain about. If the energy spent complaining was put into changing what was bothering us, I believe great things could be accomplished. Of course, I complain sometimes but it usually about one of three things; my ex, my lawyer, or when I have dental issues. I make a serious effort to be aware when I am complaining, to stop, and to think of solutions to resolve the problem.
