Tis' the season to give thanks





Tis' the season to give thanks so I made a list of all the things I am thankful for:


  1. I thank God that I have a job. I'd thank Him even more if this damn recession recedes so I can get one that I am actually good at;

  2. I thank God for credit cards with low interest rates, specifically the AMEX blue card, for credit cards that magically just increase your balance just for being a good customer. How can I thank them?

  3. I thank God for my co-workers; they are a fun and interesting bunch that actually make me look forward to coming to work everyday;

  4. I thank God that I have ex-boyfriends that actually respond to my emails, who actually ask how I am and who eventually apologize for being assholes to me in the past;

  5. I thank God for my education. I may not get the job that is worthy of my multiple years in school, but I thank God that I have this education that makes me proud of myself and no employer can take that away from me;

  6. I thank God for giving me one more year in the city. At first when I moved here I didn't think I would last this long - fish out of water complex - but I've made it for 18 months and I am so grateful for that;

  7. I thank God for breast reduction surgeries and the ability to afford one, get one, survive one and fit into strapless dresses, no questions asked, relieving me of those DDD nightmares. No matter what they tell you about how great fake boobs are, smaller boobs are a Godsend;

  8. I thank God that I have my faculties. I have not lost my mind completely and that is a huge plus considering the type of year I've had and the stuff I've been through some of which have been mentioned on here. It hurts to still be single but maybe there is a purpose to this. I may still be a little angry but I am not mad, not even a little bit;

  9. I thank God for the little things: Keanu, black and white photos, good movies that reach into that aching part of you and make you feel better about yourself (e.g., Rocky), visually stunning movies like The Dark Knight, for journals where you can express yourself without being restricted, for my navigation system, for loft apartments, for deja vu, for dreams that reveal a piece of your future, for real gentlemen like Guy Ritchie, for cute men that never call, for uncute men that never stop calling, for dating and not dating, for heartbreaks that make you stronger, and for people that come into your life and leave it ever so quickly - in all of these there's a lesson to be learned even though I am yet to learn it; and

  10. Most importantly, I thank God for my family and that we have the ability to cry and laugh and share and be there for each other and that God gave us love.
