I realized that I got sidetracked...let's face it, I knew it going into it...but a few things have kept coming back to me when I think about the things I'm thankful for...
-Dash...everyday I am thankful for him. He takes care of me when I'm sick, and will always make me his number one priority...even if it's inconvenient for him. I am lucky to have him.
-Coffee...I really missed coffee last week when I got sick. Before today, I hadn't had any coffee for 5 days...that's monumental. Coffee is one of those things that makes me feel like home is wherever I happen to be having a good cup of coffee. Perhaps I've coined a new slogan?
-My family...even when it's hard. And trust me, there have been some really, really HARD moments recently. I'm still thankful for them. They make my life work, but they also drive me crazy. But I'm lucky to have a family that I can fight with and know they will still love me.
-Frasier...and other silly t.v. shows. Dash and I have been on a Frasier kick lately. Thank you netflix for coming through with all the seasons! We're almost through the series, and they have been lovely to have on sick days.
-My job...some moments are crazy, but it's still so much fun. And so good for me right now!
-New beginnings...things are about to change for me. I'm looking forward to a new beginning, to a new chapter. It's about time. I'm excited to have time to read for fun and spend more time with friends.
-My car...I am so lucky to have a good, reliable car. It's not the prettiest thing out there, but it runs...and it runs well!
-My kindle...I love having so many things to read at my fingertips! For a true book lover, this is such a treat!
-A place to call home...for so many years, I've felt like I was just in transition. Bellingham was never really home. It was just the place I was for a few years. But Seattle is so much different for me. I am home. This place fits me. Why? I'm not sure I'll ever know, but I do know that it fits. And when I look around me, I feel at home. I've missed that feeling. I'm still convinced that "home" is so many different things. But the feeling of being "home" on a daily basis is pretty amazing.
