Random thoughts and rubbish

Things I am thankful for:

  1. I am thankful for my health. I take it entirely too much forgranted.
  2. I am thankful for my intelligence. Go ahead and laugh here! but I am thankful for it nonetheless. I am not a genius but thanks to the harassment of a jerk I took a couple of IQ tests which have assured me that I am somewhat above average in intelligence. (I didn't tell him that I actually think IQ tests are crap. I was disappointed that my brother said he thought my score would be higher, he should know that I am no John Nash despite the fact that he bought me the Waterman.)
  3. I am thankful for my creativity.
  4. I am thankful for my family both my immediate and extended even though I might not always show it like I should.
  5. I am thankful for Toblerone! (one needs to be thankful for little things also)
  6. I am thankful for my Grandpa and Grandma M. and I miss them dearly almost everyday although I am glad that they have moved to a better place.
  7. I am thankful for this house that I live in now, even though I miss the old neighborhood.
  8. I am thankful that change is constant even though I am a bit anxious about change sometimes.
  9. I am thankful for my friends.
  10. I am thankful that I don't have a 9 to 5 job (although I complain about this quite a lot!)
  11. I am thankful that I have the freedom to complain!
  12. Truth be told I am thankful for more things then I can even think of!

I meant to create this post last Thursday but time got away from me! Maybe I should post things I am thankful for more than just once every year. I knew a woman who said she wrote down every morning first thing in the morning 5 things that she was thankful for. She said that she especially made sure she did it when she wasn't feeling thankful for much. Probably a good policy!
