This has been a long, rough year for some of us, and apparently it's supposed to be our last or something. Family situations have been tough, unforeseen hospital visits have been necessary, daily work has been tiring (put mildly), and bills have been hard to pay. Nothing seems to go right, or at least go as planned without something going awry. For me, this whole year has been one giant ball of stress that seems to continually get worse through sheer circumstance, and it's only recently that I've begun to put myself back on what I feel is the right path.
But despite all the problems of life, I'm thankful to be alive. I'm thankful that I have someone special to share my life with, both the good and the bad, as we go through these trials and tribulations towards what I know to be a better future for us. I'm thankful to be loved for who I am, by a caring and patient boyfriend, by a wonderful mother whom I perhaps don't show my appreciation for as often as I should, and by perhaps more friends than I even realized I still had here. I'm thankful for all of you guys here and our strange little home away from home.
So, even though it's a little early yet where I live, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
