Late Thanksgiving Post

Upon reflecting on my last few months it occurred to me that I have a lot for which to be thankful.

It was a weird holiday, actually, being the first one I’ve ever experienced with a significant other.  It cause a bit of distress initially with Johnna even pulling the “I have cancer!” card, but all in all it turned out fine.  Lu was sick and her kids did thanksgiving with her a different day, so the morning was spent just dad and the kids.  We had lunch around noon and it was amazing.

I then went and had lunch with Donnie’s family.  It was the first time the family sat down and ate a Thanksgiving meal together since their mother died.  I felt great to be included.  It was fun, and Donnie’s sister, Tanya, made us go around and say what we were thankful for.

Which got me to thinking:  I have a lot to be thankful for~

• my health
• Johnna’s recovery
• my “new” family with Dad and Lu’s wedding
• a job
• a home
• Donnie
• friends and family who love me

Really, what more does a girl need?
