Well, in the spirit of the holiday which is not quite over yet, let me just say these few words...
I am thankful for everyone in my life. I am thankful for my family, who has proven to be there for me time and time again. They aren't perfect, but they take care of each other. I am glad to be related to these people, and I am also proud to be able to say I am related to them.
I am thankful for my girlfriend who (I can't do justice to what she said for me) has proven herself to be there for me as much as my family. I am grateful for how much emotional support she has given, and for so many other things she has done for me. The past year with her has been great, and I hope that as time goes on, the few wrinkles in our ethos can be ironed out, and things continue to grow for us.
I am thankful for the change that 2006 has brought for me. I know it is too early to be reflecting on the past year (that kind of crap is usually saved for a month from now) but it really has been a year of so much growth for me. My career path has changed in an unexpected yet positive way, and I have done a lot of personal reflection which has helped me to see where it is I am going and how I will get there. I now have a more fundamental understanding of what I need to do to accomplish my goals, I have ridded myself of some not-so-great habits, and I believe I am prepared to prosper.
I am truly thankful to all of the people in my life, no matter where they are or how long ago I knew them that have helped make me who I am. I am grateful that I have known them, that they knew me, and that they had some impact on me, no matter how seemingly insignificant.
I am grateful for this life. It has been far from perfect and, at times, it has been downright shitty. But even in those times, I am still very grateful to God/Zeus/Allah/The Fundamental Mystical Force of the universe/Xenu* for have given me this life, if nothing more for than me to experience it in all its facets.
* Well, maybe not Xenu
I am getting a car. This will be my fifth automobile, and I hope it will be my last one for at least a few years. I have my reservations about it, mostly because of the rotten luck I have had with cars before. But I will keep my head up and keep my eyes out for the other drivers and any animals that run into me, and I think everything will be okay. I shall be getting this car in the next week or so, and I will post pictures/bad MSPsint diagrams of it eventually. Cross your fingers for me.
I have decided the dates for my next Dallas trip. I may have mentioned this in a previous post, but I will mention it again. I shall be coming on Saturday, March 17th, 2006, and leaving the next Saturday, the 24th. I have planned this to coincide with Spring Break for you UNT peeps (I looked up the UNT calendar; it's the only one I could find fairly easily) and I can only hope that this week is also Spring Break for the rest of you Dallas people. Any questions, concerns or whatevers, let me know! |
