Thankful for footie rubs by my boyfriend when I need them. So relaxing too.
For family and friends especially this time of year and not having to cook a big Christmas feast for 20 by myself.
My mom and sister ( the most) they are my rechargers in life and biggest champions and when down they don't force me to cheer up they just love and support and comfort me along the way. Bless them always.
My Hazel wakes me up with the best puppy kisses. It's nice to start the day being loved on, makes the day seem to go better.
For me one that is very recent....
For the first time in my life, I feel thankful to be me in a way that feels pure and sincere. I hope that doesn't sound cocky (cockiness is for sure NOT me AT ALL), but I've never really been my own biggest fan. In fact, I am usually my own worst enemy. But, I don't know, lately I have just reached an inner-peace I've never thought I would. I think a large part of that, sadly, came from finally accepting who and what I am. I'm not really meant for this world, exactly. I'm weird, I'm bizarre, I'm abnormal. LOL! BUT.... I embrace that weird. I enjoy it. I love it. So, lately, I've just really come into myself in a way I honestly NEVER thought I would.
Probably won't last long if I know me.... but I'll enjoy it while it does. :)
It's not cocky to be proud of your personal growth and progress! I'm happy for you!
Thanks! It is good and bad for various different reasons, but at least I've been happy. Not a luxury that is often afforded me.
[MENTION=71386]TheEvilJester[/MENTION], you should consider reading the book I plugged in the "What Book Are You Reading" thread (The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, by Mark Manson). You seem like the type of person who would enjoy that book. It's hilarious and inspiring at the same time.
Just the title already has me intrigued. :) Thanks for the suggestion, melancholia. I'll have to look for that. I don't get as much time to read these days as I'd like, but I do want to read more. I love reading.
Good for you! and hope it will last, and that 2017 will be YOUR year.Quote:

Thankful for the extended time I had with my parents over the holidays and how great they get along with my sweetheart too. One big happy gang/family. :)
I am thankful I can try again on all levels because the new year is always a fresh new start. Here's hoping.
I am thankful for my boyfriend's level of patience. He keeps me in my place and reminds me to keep my cool in times when it's not so easy for me. He never censors me or shames me when I am stressing out, but his calm demeanor and tendency to keep his cool really inspires me to do the same.
Thankful my mum is such a strong woman and that pain and sorrow doesn't completely cripple and stop her from going on.
A small amount of memory loss. Isn't always a bad thing it appears.
Weekend getaways.
Witnessing real love among friends.
I am thankful for nice gestures that show a friend, family member & Bf care about your feelings.
For it being Friday! Woot! TGIF. :D
I am thankful that, despite my feelings on love and the likelihood of me ever finding it even though I always USED TO really want it (in other words, I've come to believe it is never going to happen for me), I've still never wished the same misery upon those I love. That's one of those things where sometimes you just can't help how you feel. If things haven't gone well for you, you can't help that even though you feel bad about it, part of you gets mad/jealous when others have luck where you do not. It isn't malicious, it's just you kind of can't help but feel betrayed by life when others seem to get everything you want and you never do.....
But that has thankfully never been my experience. When a friend tells me of a new relationship, or one going particularly well (such as taking a step to a new level) I am genuinely happy for them. Frankly, almost as happy as I'd be if it were me, because this is a particularly good guy who I think deserves to be happy. In fact, a friend of mine just recently told me he has a new girlfriend, and instead of being jealous I was genuinely very happy for him. Like, in that gut reaction, I didn't think about it, that is just genuinely how I felt kind of way. I'm happy I've never lost that.
Thankful that my room mate has yet to give me her cold. Do not think I could stand another big virus so soon. Disinfecting everything she touches.
thankful for finding this forum tonight - looks great.
Thankful for good friends, sunshine, drinks and a nice winter tan :)
Microwaved meals ...I am so lazy on weekends and if I didn't have that to throw in for lunches I'd just not eat.
Nothing to do late in my day but lounge around at home and do whatever. Stress - none exists in that moment. :)
Warmer weather and having to wear less clothes.
I wear generally the same clothes no matter the weather. LOL! Even in 100 degree weather, I tend to be in long black pants, long black shirts, and some kind of knit beanie.
Tea. Any kind of it, peppermint, herbals, regular, chai, white tea. Nothing relaxes me like a cup of tea.
I am thankful for extra money to spend lavishly on myself and not just have to have a tight budget spent mostly on bills and transportation and never get anything pretty for myself.
I hear you on that, topaz. As somebody who has known what it is like being able to make ends meet (both from personal experience and from seeing my parents struggle over the years) I can truly appreciate those times when I'm NOT having that problem. I wouldn't change anything, though, because it gives you a special appreciation for money. These days, now that I have disposable income (which I realize I am lucky to have and that may not always be the case) I am able to treat myself here and there.... yet still not over-spend. I can have a little fun with my money, yet still pay all the bills and have some to save up.
So, I'll second that one. :)
i'm thankful that it's friday! and i get it the hell outta here for a week with friends and family.
I had a nice weekend so far ~ Thankful for that and my guy wants a strawberry pie today since I said I'd try to bake so going start that very soon.
Comedy Specials on Netflix
[MENTION=85947]Shoukon[/MENTION] which ones are you liking, any suggestions?
getting out of the city again this weekend. that is my thankful for today.
Bill Burr specials
for everything in my life
for the love im in
I'm thankful that I didn't eat the exact meal two others I know ate because they both got food poisoning from it.
Good cell phone reception.
Thankful we are going to a hotel tonight until monday just to keep cool and use its pool with some friends who are having an engagement party at same hotel.
I feel the need to point out, in case anybody else is confused, that Peter was NOT aiming this at breathe. Looks like we maybe had a pesky troll amongst us, but apparently they have now been dealt with and removed.Quote:
