I’m going to echo the man who lives a life without pants and say that this has been one fucking incredible year, and one that I have so much to be thankful for.
2010 started off on a high note and there have been some amazing things that have gone exactly as I planned them to and others that went the complete opposite. I pride myself as someone who sets goals and achieves them, and everything that I have put in motion has caused ripple effects in parts of my life and others creating an impact that is bigger than I ever imagined it could be. And this year isn’t over yet. To get specific, here’s a short-list of things that I’m thankful for right now (in no particular order):
- Family under one roof for the holidays
- In-laws, and in-law’s in-laws
- Family recipes
- Opportunities that make you take life by the horns
- Friends
- Community
- Getting out of town safely, in one piece
- The opportunity to reach high and achieve goals
- Goal setting
- Goal achieving
- Words and language and all of the baggage definitions mean
- Sharing philosophies over too much wine Late nights
- Spell check
- Cuddling
- Instant friendships
- Rekindled friendships
- Friendships that’s are true blue and everlasting
- Being taken out of context
- Being asked to do something I’ve always wanted to do by someone who never knew I wanted to do it
- Doing things I kick ass at
- Strength is the new skinny
- Confidence
- Trust and trusting others
Right now my family—my husband, sister, brother-in-law, unborn niece/nephew, and parents—are in the other room watching a movie and I’m blogging, reflecting, and ready to join them.
