Happy Thanksgiving. Feliz el dia de gracia. Fuckin’ Turkey Day.
However you celebrate, I hope you spend it with people who truly love you or the people who tolerate you during major holidays.
I am not a big fan of any holiday where all my family is smushed into one room. It’s not because I don’t love them. I do. My family holds parts of me that are off limits to the rest of the world. Its just that we are too much a like to co-exist without someone having an attitude that last until the next holiday. That person is usually me. I had to be the mouthy one. The rebel. The almost outsider. I’m ok with that, sometimes. Sometimes I just wish I could find my way into the middle of the conversation with out trying my damndest. I wish I could just go with their flow. I can’t. I don’t flow that way. But either way I love them. Even if I’m nervous about what dirty stares or arguments today will bring.
But before I get to that I want to make a list of what I am truly thankful for. I know that my list is pretty materialistic. I’m working on it, but if I didn’t share I wouldn’t be vulnerable and opening myself up, like I promised I would.
Things I Am Thankful For:
My Mother
My Friends – All of them without exception
Family- All most all without exception
My blackberry
My Pea coat
My imagination
My library card
Breakfast sandwiches
Orange Juice
BREATHING

Yeah…What are you thankful for this holiday? You have to be thankful for something no matter how trivial or stupid other people may think it is.
Fasting till 5,
