I feel we live in an age where we aren't as thankful as we should be. so its always nice to remember the little things as well as the big... anything you are thankful for this year and the next and the next. and let us all remember how fortunate we are and how easy it is to take things for granted.

i'll start...

Im thankful for:
1. my loving family who supports me in every way
2. the most amazing man that i probably couldn't even dream up thats how good he is
3. Pearl jam! (shocking i know)
4. Chuck Palahniuk
5. Organ Donors (oh man am i ever)
6. kit kats
7. my friends (here and otherwise)
8. every song thats ever made me feel something deep down
9. pink lady apples
10. my amazing apartment
11. my hopefully big bonus this year (i hope i didnt jinx that)
12. love. i just had to say it again...


those are my random flotsem and jetsem for now... so lets all remember why we are lucky...

    I'm thankful that my mom survived her heart attack in August and that I am blessed that my parents are still with me and are still in remarkably good health.

    sure, if i wanted to be nitpicky, i could find minor faults with this year, but mostly within myself. beyond that, this has been one kick-ass year for me :)....unbelievably happy, and i hope just the start of a major upswing in life. i am soooooooooo thankful so much has turned around, after a lot of hard work....but a true labor of love. ;) so yes, i am happy for every damn insignificant little smile to every great big joy.....and everything in between. i know i have always been blessed, most of us are....but i have felt TRULY blessed and loved this year.

    here's to appreciating it....being thankful....and hell yes, MORE! :D

    Let's just breathe...

    AllIAm...you are such a good person. I am happy you have so much to be thankful for.
    I am an organ donor...I hope someone is thankful for that someday. :)

    Reality
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    i am mostly thankful PJ toured Europe again so soon... and not the US ;)


    i am also thankful for my lungs working
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    ... off the top of my head, for my mom getting so much better health-wise after being in very poor condition from April-July.
