Thankful Thursday!

Well what an exciting week it has been!   I certainly hope that your week was as funky and happy as mine has been!   I have found so many things to be thankful for!

Water -  I really enjoy being clean and I thoroughly enjoy drinking water.  Turns out, as a planet, we really need it.  I remember when I was almost seven I was in the hospital and I was pretty flipping sick.  After a few days, I started to perk up and the nurses washed my hair. I remember being amazed by the way she washed it because I never got out of the bed while this was happening. At one point, I moved my arm (still attached to the IV) and I felt the water. It was the coolest feeling in the world.  It didn't stop flowing (down into a bucket I'm sure) which to a little girl stuck in a hospital bed, that unstoppable force was pretty cool.

That the Search is Over - This is going to be so flipping cheesy and I don't care.  Today, on the way home from work, some country song came on and the lyrics were something like this could be our last first kiss.  And I was like -heh, I think I've had my last first kiss- I am so freaking thrilled about that.  It took a crazy long  time to trick someone into being my boyfriend but I think I've really tricked him this time. I mean I know anything can happen but I think that we are in this for the long haul.  I am extraordinarily grateful that everything worked out the way it was meant to and I met Dann.  Way to go for taking our garbage out, Bug.

Bad Books - Strange, right? But when I read books that are written badly, I get excited.  I bet you're wondering why. I'll tell you.  When I read lousy books, I think "Dude!  I can write a book! If people are reading this trash, they'll read my trash!" So all of you authors of bad books out there, thanks!

Babies -  Each baby that is born is another chance for the world to become a better place.  I dig them.  You know how I feel about humans! The simple innocence and curiosity of the world that babies have make me smile.  I am happy they're constantly being made!

Amy Winehouse - I didn't really like her until I watched a documentary with my old roommate Tasha last year.  But when I did I actually learned about her and her life.  She wasn't always the Amy Winehouse who made a joke out of going to rehab.  Unfortunately, she got wrapped up with the wrong guy and then that was it.  But her music is delightful.  I think that you can hear her feelings in her voice, no matter what song it is (even if it is "Rehab").  I'm glad she came along. I just wish I appreciated her then.


What about you?  What are you thankful for?
