Writer's Worksho - Thankful

We're going around the table and it's your turn to share

what you are thankful for....

A few of my mates on Facebook

have been participating in a month

of thankfulness.

I loved the idea

and seeing what they were thankful

for everyday.

I thought of participating,

but being Canadian,

our Thanksgiving was in October

so I didn't feel right about it.

But now,

well now I can share.

The last few months have been rough.

With Scott being in Kitwe,

I'm awfully lonely

and hate it.

And while I constantly 

moan and complain,

I'm thankful for a husband

who has put himself in an uncomfortable position

and never complains. He's doing what he

feels is best for his family, and 

no matter how much I whine and complain,

I know I have the better end of the bargain. 

I spent most of today

working on a paper for one

of my courses. 

It took longer than I thought

it would.

I promised Ethan this afternoon,

that we could watch a movie 

together tonight.

I am thankful for having completed my paper.

I am thankful for a son

who enjoys cuddling with me

on the sofa

while watching a Disney movie. 

When I was in Dar,

I had two great mates

that indulged me with Twilight.

We would go see the movie

and criticise and laugh.

Last year

I managed to find someone to go 

with.

She laughed along with me.

Then she moved to Kosovo!

But tomorrow,

yes,

tomorrow I have plans with some great

mates to see Twilight.

I am thankful

to have mates

willing to see Twilight with me

even though they know

I will laugh the whole way through. 

While studying today

I sooo needed a break

and treated myself to a 

mani/pedi.

I am thankful for

cute toes and fingernails. 

I hope everyone's having

a wonderful Thanksgiving.
