I may be jumping the gun a little bit posting the list of what I'm grateful for this year, but I don't know exactly what will happen between now and next Thursday (hopefully nothing unexpected). But seeing that I am feeling quite a bit more gratitude this year than last, I figured it would be good to write this list. Here we go.
1. Love - The love and support of family and friends has definitely been a great help this year. Even knowing that Leslie still loves me on the other side definitely helps at times as well.
2. Time - Time is needed for all wounds to heal, whether it's a few days to a few months. Or even a year.
3. School - I know I'm looking forward to being done, but school has definitely helped fill my time, allowing me to focus on rebuilding my life instead of focusing on the bad. Plus, without school, I wouldn't have had such a crazy time going all over the place the last few months.
4. Guitar Hero/Rock Band - Whoever the genius was who thought of combining video games with rock definitely came up with something good. It's a great way to relax and unwind.
5. Sisu - Finnish for guts, stubborness and determination. One of the best things I brought back from Finland.
6. Freedom - The freedom to make my life the way I want it to be. It won't be perfect by any means. It already isn't. But it can always be better.
7. Grief - Grief is one of the best teachers I've had. Not that I'm recommending that everyone sign up for his course anytime soon, but the lessons that you learn from the process are unique, as long as you are willing to accept them.
Happy Thanksgiving!
