Happy Thanksgiving

It’s November, a time to be thankful.  All of my friends are blogging about what they are thankful for and if you are a FB junkie your news feeds are probably being flooded with thankful posts. I know I “Should” jump on the bandwagon, but I’m just not feeling it this year. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t have a ton to be thankful for because I do, but I’m just exhausted pretending all day to be happy and peppy.  I’m trying so hard, but the tears just keep leaking out, yea I’m the person running by you at work hoping to make it there in time to hide the tears that are streaming down my face.  No one would talk to me or want to hang out with me if I showed my emotions so I do my best to hide them. For the most part I do an amazing job. I really should get an Academy Award for my performance.

For those of you who can’t live with out the thankful posts here you go:

I’m thankful for my job. It may not be there tomorrow, but I have to appreciate it for it is. A job. I am so blessed to have one in this economy.  It pays amazingly well and I’m very good at what I do.  As long as I remember it’s just a job and don’t let people around me get to me it’s actually a relatively stress free job that lasts from 8 to 5 and doesn’t involve me taking any work home.  It allows me to have weekends, evenings, and major holidays such as Thanksgiving off.

I’m thankful for a great place to live. I have a nice roommate that is really sweet and invites me to things. The price of rent is reasonable.

My puppies don’t live with me, but I get to visit them and they still adore me.

I have a car that runs.

I have some great friends and a supportive family. And I guess I should get going, or I’ll be later then I already am to Thanksgiving.
