What am I thankful for this Thanksgiving?

In the past 12 months I have survived heartbreak, disappointment, physical illness, job change, residence relocation, financial hardship…my mental state has been challenged, and my patience bent to within a fraction of it’s breaking point. I’ve been lied to, teased, toyed with and screwed over. People have made promises to me and broken them. I have been cheated by a boss, and stolen from. I’ve lost friends, and gotten rid of some who claimed to be friends…

But this year there are many things for which I can be thankful.
I have great friends.
I have a wonderful family.
I have many options for the future, both personally and professionally.
I have discovered a couple of possibilities for travel…both nationally AND internationally!
I have new friends who are not only fun, but also beautiful.
I’ve developed and new hobby, and made even more friends with that.
My life is far from perfect…but I have never been happier or more thankful for the events of the past 12 months that have brought me to where I am today!

To all my friends and family, thank you and I love you.

The ones who caused my grief this year, yea, you know who you are…you can kiss my lily white! JUST SAYIN…
