Things I am Thankful For…

During this shit show of a pandemic that is currently consuming almost every waking moments of our lives…below is a list (in no particular order <except the top one/oh and number 2>) of what I am truly thankful for.

1. My grand daughter – yep – number 1- today – right here and right now – this little ginger cookie puts a smile on my face every single day. When I think that WTF am I doing this for – just need to look at my phone and I see that face. (#2 is on the way – release date – January 2021).
2. My children. My children have taught me more about humility, patience and acceptance of our fellow humans than any other person possibly could. They are my moral compass – my sense of fashion – my tolerance – my spiritual guides – my teachers – the reason I have not slept a full nights sleep in over 30 years and really and truly the reason I am in the person I am today.
3. Hubs – holy shit – this dude – sorry man – you had no idea almost 20 years ago what circus you were getting yourself into when you became my partner in crime and surrogate father to aformetioned. You wanna talk patience ??? A more patient, loving, tolerant human I guarantee you – you will NEVER meet than him. The butter to my bread and the breath to my life.
4. My family – I truly have the most broken family on the face of this big rock spinning. What an epic Elizabethan novel we could write about the comings and goings of this clan of misfits – BUT – no matter what – no matter how much shit we may talk about each other and the cliques and inner clans – mess with one – you mess with us all. Neices and Nephews and the crazy crew – all part of this do do do do do do do do CIRCUS!!!!
5. My Bro – now I know I will put some undies in a bunch by signaling him out – I would like to hope that I am super close to all my sisters BUT my Bro and I have a special bond- not going into details – but we fixed each other as best we could.
6. ALL MY LADIES!!!! – all ya’ll know who you are – I’m still convinced we could run this spinning rock better than who is in charge now – BUT they simply just won’t hand over that power – idiots.
7. My job – I am so fortunate to have the job that I have with the management team at the helm – BUT my Boss (she’ll be pissed if she reads this) is the best and no I’m not blowing sunshine up her skirt to get an extra day off – she really is the best boss/equal that I could ever hope for in the job that I love – (at least today – ask me again on Tuesday).
8. Wine – I’m thankful for smashed distilled grapes – nuff said.
9. My FB community and friends – though I have not met many of you – we’re a family – a big old disfunctional family of nut jobs.
10. Horses, chickens, ducks in that order.
11. Food – I have cooked two Thanksgiving Dinners this weekend cause of stupid Covid I cannot have all the people I want here at the same time so cooked one and did Muber (Maja=Uber) eats delivery and then patio dining lol!!!
12. My faith – it’s not last but it’s mine.

Seriously – I know this sucks – it’s a scary time and we are all so just done with it and fed up but realistically – Covid has not touched my family and I want to keep it that way.

So wear the mask – wash your hands and keep that distance ya’ll.

Hopefully come Christmas we can be together again.

Happy Thanksgiving ya’ll….
