Day 10

Day 10 of being thankful

I am thankful for having such good friends and best friends. I have been best friends with Karen since elementary school. I remember we used to play dj and write stories and poetry together. We had such fun growing up. And Karen would come with us on our family outings on the weekends and we would buy the latest single out on tape. I was into New Kids On The Block, Spice Girls and Hanson. Karen liked Spice Girls but she wasn't obsessed like I was lol. I had a Donnie Wahlburg poster on my wall and a Spice Girl poster and back then I used to buy all the teen magazines every time mom and i went to the store. I had a ton of posters on my wall. I am thankful that Karen has been around this long. I am sometimes hard to be around but Karen has stuck by me this whole time. She is such a great best friend. And she is like a sister to me. Thank you Karen for always being there even if we lived miles apart you were still there for me emotionally and listened to all my problems and troubles.

I am also thankful for my best friend Bear. He and I have been friends since 2008 and he has stuck by me even though he has given me plenty of advice and I did the opposite and he was always right. Lol. I remember how every holiday Bear would come celebrate with me. And thankfully this year he is coming to celebrate Thanksgiving with me. I am cooking at my house this year. Its going to be nice to have him again for another holiday. He has been there through thick and thin for me. He even went through the craziness of my ex wife with me and boy was that a mess of course that's not over yet since I am not officially divorced. When I first met Bear I was sort of intimidated by him and a little scared of him but eventually learned he wasn't a scary guy of course unless you piss him off. He is a lovable guy, a teddy bear. I am glad I am still friends with him. I always tried to make Bear's Birthday special every year since his family is in New York. Bear is family to me even if he isn't blood.

And I can't forget the friends I have at work that I am thankful for. Since they have to deal with my craziness and the mess that I am lol. Poor April has to deal with me every day even on my days off cos she can't keep me away haha.

I am thankful for all the friends I have who have been and are still there for me and are still around. Sometimes I get crazy but they stay around. I am thankful for my friends. I am also thankful for the friends I have made over the years and my friends on Facebook who have to hear me whine and complain which is a lot.

Day 8

Day 8

I am thankful for all Jehovah God has provided me and continues to provide me with. I am thankful to have a roof over my head, a warm soft comfy place to sleep, clothes on my back and food to eat. Jehovah is good to me. I am grateful to have what I do. I met a homeless Veteran today, a Marine. He was in good spirits and had a positive attitude. Its sad to see so many homeless Veterans who have to sleep out in the cold especially when its almost Veterans Day. If I had the funds I would create a homeless abelter just for Veterans so they had somewhere warm and comfortable to go.

I am thankfyl to my boss April because she gave me the opportunity to learn and grow. She promoted me to Assistant Manager and helped me grow as an employee. I am grateful to have been promoted to Assistant Manager.

Day 5

I am thankful for my dogs Bella and Cinder. They bring so much joy and happiness to my life. I can't imagine my life without them. They are my companions and they keep me company when Jen's not around or when she's sleeping. They are loyal and loving dogs. But they are more than dogs to me, they are my babies, my children. Jen brought Bella and Conder by my work today and that brightened my day and made it a lot better. I was so happy to see them. We spend a lot of time together. Cinder follows me around me the house its so cute. I love my babies. They love when I buy them bones and Bella gets all excited when we buy her squeaky toys. She loves her squeaky toys and carries her new toy around everywhere with her even outside lol. I am thankful Jen got Cinder for me for Christmas, best present ever

Just a thought

Be grateful for what you have others would love to have what you've got. Something to remember. So many people are so ungrateful these days. Stick them in a third world country and I bet they will start being grateful. Ungrateful people like that girl who was complaining about her food stamps dropping to $1106 irritate me. I can't stand selfish, lazy, ungrateful people or people who use others and I really can't stand people who lie. I believe honesty is the best policy and that is why I don't lie. Its easier to tell the truth then have to cover up a bunch of lies. So I went outside a little bit ago and its that time again where I will have to rake the leaves. Gonna borrow the leaf blower from mom and dad so that will make it easier to manage all the leaves and there is a lot of them.

DWP: Thanksgiving

Daily Writing Prompt: Thanksgiving

So in November is Thanksgiving. And with that comes what you are grateful for this month. So each day in November I will write what I am grateful for. Last night I wrote a blog about what I am thankful for amd grateful for. But I have lots that I am thankful for and grateful for. So I have all month to write about it and I plan on doing so. I am not sure what we are doing for Thanksgiving but if we don't have plans then we are going to have Thanksgiving at our house. And I will invite all or family and friends. My parents never come to holiday functions because they don't celebrate holidays. Well mom doesn't and its hard to get dad out of the house to do anything at all.
