30 Days of Thanksgiving

Some of you may have heartd of the 30 days of Thanksgiving movement that has been active on Facebook. I heard about it, thought about it and passed it over. I've been thinking though, what are some of the things I AM thankful for? I decided to go ahead and give the 30 days thing a shot in one sitting. Here is what I have in no particular order.

I am thankful for:

1) A Warm, Dry place to sleep
2) Food on the table
3) A roof over my head
4) A job that allows me to provide for myslef and helps accomodate the above
5) Good Friends
6) A Warm hug after a hard day from my niece
7) Getting to spend a week (or close to it) sleeping on my brothers couch on vacation
8) Being lucky enough to have seen and been a lot of places in my life
9) A Sunset on the beach
10) Having learned skills that help me in my work
11) Having been married
12) Having gotten divorced
13) Good Music of all genres
14) Being able to watch movies that allow some escape from my world
15) My Anxiety
16) A doctor that listens
17) Having been allowed to go to several churches while I was growing up allowing me to learnabout them firsthand rather than hearing about them secondhand
18) Having been a missionary
19) Having a mother that lets me make bad decisions and loves me anyway
20) Being lucky enough to know and love all my siblings even if we don't talk as much as we should.
21) Getting to spend time with my only nephew, although I'd like to spend more with him
22) Laughing my butt off at a friend as he plays video games and fails miserably
23) Hearing my friend do the same when I play
24) Having a Boss who is patient with me when I get frustrated
25) Having Co workers that make work so much fun that I can't stand it
26) Having the opportunity to show someone something new and watch them grasp it. AKA getting to watch the light bulb go *DING*
27) Having a car that gets me back and forth to work
28) Knowing that no matter what I do, I have a Father in Heaven that loves me, and accepts me (mistakes and all) as long as I do my best.
29) For my Smartphone which is the best thing since, I don't know... The Nintendo?
30) Knowing that God will not give me more than I can handle, but trusts me with just enough that I think he does from time to time.

Some of you may be wondering about why I would I would say I am grateful for a marriage that didn't last and for a divorce. I was going to explain, but I don't think I want to anymore. Let's just say I learned from both. Maybe later down the road I'll explain, but for now. That will do.

So there you go. Are there any things that you are grateful for?

Whirlwinds

So...

This is my first blog entry in a long time and I've decided I want to take it up again. Over the next few days, you can expect to see some changes, more details and even a funny story or two. The whirlwinds of life have been keeping me busy for the most part, and I'm ready to get some of it out and down on paper I suppose.

Oh wait, there is no paper in cyberspace. Drat! Foiled again. Oh well, I'm off for now!
