Today the world celebrated Thanksgiving. This is when we normally contemplate what we are thankful for. Like everyone else I asked myself this question.
I am thankful for being alive to celebrate another Thanksgiving. My father and close friend Denita were not able to. I am thankful for my family. Even though we are not exactly normal or get along all the time, I am glad to have them in my life. I am thankful for my husband. The love and patience her has for / with me. I am very thankful for my sister, TC, she is my best friend and ALWAYS there when I need her. My husband and sister make my days easier and brighter. I am thankful for being able to see my daughter grow. She still amazes me with how much of a 'person' she is. As much as I have learned her personality I see it develop more and more each day.
I am thankful for being a better person than I was a few years ago, even last year. I am continually growing into a better person. I know I'm NOT perfect but I AM improving. I can honestly say I am not using anger and frustration as the first and primary emotions I feel. Which I use to and I really don't know why. I have become a better mother, daughter, sister and friend! I'm working on the better employee part LMAO! I know that I still have work to do but I am proud to see me not loosing myself while improving myself.
I am thankful for my friends. I a have unique relationship with each one and appreciate them for being in my life. This past weekend I went to Charlotte for my college friend Kaila's wedding. It was the first time in a year that "our freshman" crew had seen each other. It was a lot of fun. The reunion reminded me of how much we've grown. I am smiling now thinking of us back then at 18, our first days on NCCU's campus, so young and pure LOL! Ok wrong word but you know what I mean. To see us now, at different points of our lives. Married, lawyer, mother, master degree and we are all still growing. It's amazing.
I am thankful for my internet friends. Those I know from college or work but mostly speak to on Facebook and Myspace. Those I met on theKnot and have become friends with. Both of these types of friends have become important to me because they are there for me when I need them. It's a blessing to have a variety of friends.
