I am thankful for (one day late)

1) I am thankful for parents who love me. When I was younger, I used to bemoan that they weren't cool enough, and then I grew up and realized that even though my parents aren't "cool," they're happy and smart and successful and have the best intentions for me.

2) I am thankful for everyone else's parents who love me - the people who even though they don't have any obligation to, make sure that I'm doing okay/let me crash at their house/have had some hand in my growth into the person I am today.

3) I am thankful that in the last year I have had so many learning opportunities and have come out of them a stronger, smarter, more mature person.

4) I am thankful for the "Still stuffed the next morning" feeling I have because it means that my family has enough food to keep stuffing it down my throat until I feel sick.

5) I am thankful for the shitty fold out couch I slept on last night because freezing my ass off in a hotel room sure beats spending thanksgiving on the streets like the homeless people I pass on my way to class.

6) I am thankful for my friends who love and support me, who are always good for a joke or something to do. Whether I met you last week or last month or five years ago, thank you for being a friend. :)

And thank you, reader, for reading my blog. I wish you a happy and healthy new year, and hopefully I'll see you right back here next November.

Gratefully yours,

Leez.
