Today I am grateful.

3-item minimum. I'll start.


Today I am grateful because:

1. I have a bed to sleep in and a roof to put it under.
2. I have food to eat and I will not starve.
3. I have friends to call and a phone to call them with.
4. I have shoes to wear and someplace to go (and people who will be happy to see me when I get there).
5. I have a computer and internet access and I can come to the Lounge and play and enjoy my SD family.


Who's next?

1. That I'm still alive, when I buried way too many of my friends
2. for my family and their health
3. done with school and two good jobs to choose from - both of which pay way more than I need to afford life's essentials (food, place to live)

Today I am grateful that my ex and I are still remaining friends - even though it's difficult and sad.

Edit: Also that he just got an interview for a new job that he really wants - he hates his job so much and he really deserves this new one!!! I'm sooo excited for him Woot
