2009 has been an interesting year to say the least.
A. I am thankful for Sara.
Without her, I would go insane. I love you.
B. I am thankful for my family.
Not just the people I live with mind you, but those who keep in touch all the time, including the ones I rediscovered through Facebook. Sometimes they frustrate me; but that’s just how life goes. But, other times, it’s a total blessing and I am thankful for them. I love you Tod, Paula, Mikey, Moni, Melissa, and Cory! I am also thankful for my niece Brandy for keeping me entertained with her trials and tribulations. lol.
C. I am thankful for my friends.
Not just my real life friends, but even some of my online pals who I’ve never met in person. Jarly is really the only one I socialize with in person any more. I miss hanging out with Mike. I have no idea where he’s been. But, my online pals are just as important to me; like Larry, Tim, Monte, Susan, Helen, Mandy, Ed, and Gale. Even Dana (aka Fink). I adore you all.
C. I am thankful for Facebook.
I joined facebook. This allowed me to find some of my old college friends that I haven’t heard from since I graduated in 1992. Shout outs to Tony, Allen, Gary and Andy! Can I get a “schwimmenfische and nudenfladt”? Also, through a fluke, I rediscovered my cousin Jessi on facebook which has allowed me to reconnect with someone from my early childhood. She’s also pretty dorky like me which is good. lol.
D. I am thankful for the internet.
Yeah, that’s right; the internet. It’s my primary outlet into the world since I am disabled and home bound. It’s let me connect with my family outside my home, meet really great friends online, allow me to absorb information and educate myself; and even play Shot-Online.
Things could be worse. I am thankful that they are not.
Au revoir mon amie.
