Thankful Tag

*just a reminder about the great MoFo Delurk*

Okay, so...

my good bloggy buddy Teeni tagged me with this Thankful Meme....

it's very simple: The purpose is to list 6-8 things that you are thankful for then tag 5 others to list what they’re thankful for.

i'm not sure if Teeni knew that i needed to be tagged. cuz i did. Today has been such a crappy day so far, i'm up to my armpits in paperwork, the phone keeps ringing, people are in and out of the office, and on top of all that - i'm cranky, hungry, PMSing, and craving chocolate... what better time for me to slam on the brakes and think of things that are positive that i am thankful for... and with Thanksgiving just around the corner (October 8th for us Canucks) i guess it's fitting.

alllrighty... here we go...in no particular order...

1. - doorknobs - i am thankful for doorknobs, because without them i would just stand outside looking blankly at the door wondering what to do next.... those shiney little doodads help me get inside places i want to be, and get away from places i don't want to be.... thank you doorknobs, you're the bees knees.

2. - Chocolate - in this crazy world.... chocolate is really such a luxery and a treat, we don't stop to think about it, but it is. Not everyone in world can hop over to the store and pick up something tasty... but i can, and for that - especially today - i am TRUELY thankful....and for THESE i am also truley thankful....

3. - Clean Water - i make it part of my daily routine to drink at least one litre (32 oz) of water everyday. I am thankful that i live in a country where we have clean water readily available. I'm also thankful that my Hot Water heater works again. mmmmshowers.....

4. - Music - for the ability to sing it, make it, listen to it, experience it... in general my live revolves around it. I am thankful for my talents and for the talents of others, and the ballz it takes to go out there and do something with that talent.

5. - B-rad - i am thankful for the man i call my husband. so very thankful that i have been lucky enough to find and fall in love with my soul mate, and for him to love me in return. I'm tankful for the man who puts up with my shit on a daily basis, and loves me anyway.... I'm thankful that he inspires me to be silly, that he makes me laugh, that he laughs at my jokes, that he strengthens me, that he encourages me....and i'm also thankful....for the bedroom.....wink wink......... fucktastic!

6. - Freedom of Choice - i am EXTREMELY thankful that i don't have to put up with your shit if i don't want to. that i have the freedom to walk away, the freedom to tell you what i think of you, the freedom to praise who (or What) i want to, to believe or not to believe, to wear my hair long or short, to wear pants or a skirt, to express my thoughts and feelings without persecution, to vote or not vote, the freedom to tell my government when i think they're doing a piss poor job and not be afraid of what will happen, the freedom to marry or not marry, the freedom to choose who i marry and when, the freedom to work at my job and to have independance, to be considered a human being, to be respected, to be a citizen.....to have all of these freedoms and still be A Woman. So many of these basic freedoms we take for granted.

7. - Guitar Hero - seriously.

8. - My family - if i love you, you're my family whether you know it or not. i am thankful to be close to my mom and dad again, to get to know my BIG-little brutha. I'm thankful to be closer to my inlaws...most of the time...lol. I'm thankful that i'm getting to know them better, that i'm around to see the kids more often. I'm thankful to be back in town where my friends are, but i'm thankful for the friends i made in Cowtown - even though some of them never call...jerks.... lol. I'm thankful all you friendternets... the ones i've met (love you!) and the one's i've yet to meet (can't wait!!). My family supports me in ways i never knew possible... and i loves ya!! all of you!!

Whew.

thanks teeni, i really feel better now. Nothing like forcing yourself to realize how good you've got it to bring you out of a funk. You're a doll.

Now the taggy tags....

Paige - everyone go over and say hi... she's new, but she's fab.

Wenchwire - cuz i like you and i want to be your friend
