No, no -- I'm still appreciative, really.

butterflydreamingYou may have thought you were done reading Thankful posts. Perhaps you are. {wink}
I am thankful for my family, though I frequently wish I lived far, far away from all of them, so that I could get out of the obligation of holidays and have a bacon-wrapped turkey instead. Even though my mom and my sister still mix up and call me and my neice each other's names. Even though my little neice is a tyrant, insisting on where I sat (no win) & which plate I used. (I yeilded. It depicted Disney's Pegasus.) I told her that she was a tyrant and she replied that she was not tired.
I am thankful for my parents wanting to drive me home, or rather, follow me home, since I had a car. (Didn't happen.) I am thankful for my brother, who rambles on about games and made rolls even though I brought butterflake rolls, who was in a jolly and less mulish mood than he usually is.
I am thankful for a certain person who unthinkingly disparages my cooking, deflates my humorous story about how to make the dollar coin(s) succeed in the U.S. before I can finish telling it, and is... ah... discrete about my existence, at least anyplace that I can see. Because this person is also someone who rocks my world in a dozen other ways, not only regarding topics I don't discuss in this LJ.
I am thankful for the person that I can talk to about dogs that aren't there, who understands "bad thoughts", and who makes great bread, even though this person incites my guilt for one ridiculous thing or another (such as spending hours online) on a regular basis.
I am thankful for the person who, for over a decade, has been someone that I can count on. One of these days I'll get to be someone that she can count on for the fluffy things, like birthday gifts, as well as for the fundamental things.
I am thankful for the true friends that I have been graced with in the progress of my life, friends who number in a larger quantity and quality than I may have any right to claim. When my faith in the human race as a whole diminishes, I think of you and wonder at my luck at finding so many exceptions.
I am thankful for my cats, who teach me that beauty can be skin deep, patience is not infinite, and that love can happen anyway.
I am thankful for that feeling beneath my ribcage that gets through the frost. I am thanful for Divinity in the sensual. I am thankful for this moment, right now, and the possibility in the one that comes after.
