baasheepThank you for the kind comments in the previous post. I guess this journal has been a bit of a downer lately. Stupid life and its not going rightness! I am thankful for what I have though.
I'm thankful for my health, for my body that keeps on keeping on even though I don't always treat it like the temple that it is. I'm thankful for my friends (real life and online) that rallied around me with Ma going into hospital. They(you)are wonderful people and I am so lucky to have them (you)in my life. I love them (you). I'm thankful for the job I have for as much as I complain about it, it gives me options. I also earn a pretty good wage considering I have no formal education for the type of job I do. I'm thankful for my gorgeous doggie, who loves me without judgement and is hysterically excited to see me every day. I'm thankful for the country I live in, as much as I complain about it, Ireland is a great place full of things to do and places to see.
I'm thankful that I'm alive in the time we are in. I know people complain about everything being very technological, gadgety if you will and some yearn for a simpler time but not me. I love that I have access to a computer, that I can sit here typing in bed and someone is america or australia might read this. I love having a cell phone and knowing all my friends are just a phone call away. I can't tell you how relieved I was when we were robbed in tenerife and my friend offered me the use of her phone. I was able to make the calls from the comfort of my room instead of having to traipse around looking for a pay phone when I was on the point of tears. I love the internet, anything I want to look up is just a few clicks away. I haven't gone a week where I haven't learnt something or had preconceived ideas changed because of the www.
I'm thankful for the parents I have. As angry as I was with them in the last post that anger was two parts worry one part frustration. The biggest lessons I have learnt is from their mistakes. They will always love me and support me (perhaps not in the financial sense though). The person I am today is largely down to them. All in all I'm quite happy with that person.

Date: 2007-02-20 03:11 am (UTC)You're allowed to be mad at your parents. I would be too. Just because you love them doesn't mean you aren't going to get upset and frustrated with them, in fact it means you're more likely to because you actually care about them.
I know you're feeling better now but don't forget long-term stuff like this is a roller-coaster. You're probably going to feel bad again (and good again) and you shouldn't worry about being a downer or being frustrated/angry. That's natural and human.
(((hugs))).
