I have been in such a dreadful, emotional state for the past couple of weeks that I decided it would be a good idea to sit down on the eve of Thanksgiving and write out a list of things I am thankful for. And I’m still sitting here, 10 minutes later and I haven’t added anything to the list. So I sit here, staring at the curtains I have grown to hate and I want to write out a list of at least 5 things that I am thankful for, but still, nothing comes to me in this moment.
For reasons I cannot express here, I am sad, mad, confused, worried and feeling helpless. I don’t want to fly for Thanksgiving tomorrow and I don’t want to sit go around the Thanksgiving table having to say what I’m thankful for. No. Not this year.
Because this year I am not filled with thanks and I have nothing left to give.
So here it is, my 2007 list of Thanksgiving:
My health
My cat
My warm bed
Sunday Dinners
My most wonderful boyfriend
and…
Salty, crunchy snacks that help me chomp away my frustration.
There, I did it.
*I do hope that you have a happy thanksgiving!*
Stuff yourself silly with stuffing.
I am sorry the season feels hard and forced this year. Best to eat some sweets, have a glass of wine and wallow with a good movie.
Well, I took my own advice and stuffed myself with stuffing. And that helped! (smile)
Thanks, my friend. Let’s talk soon…
I’m thankful for you.
sounds like you might be in need of some good girl time – i know i am. lets plan our girls night soon with liz. 🙂
Ug! I was too emotional while writing this to add the most important thing I am thankful for:
I am ever so thankful for my dear friends!
Thank you, thank you. All of you. I miss you.
