8. So many things!
Edited on Wed Nov-24-04 01:06 PM by intheflow
My boyfriend!
My great 22-year-old son!
His wicked cool girlfriend!
Good friends!
Bev Harris!
Keith Olbermann!
Ohio Recount!
Sun, mountains, rain, oceans!
Laughing dogs and purring cats!

(Uh-oh, she's getting carried away. Cue Julie Andrews singing My Favorite Things.) :silly:

Edited to add DU! What was I thinking to forget all you wonderful people?!?! I'm so grateful you're here--saved my sanity this election, for sure.

10. My kids are healthy, brilliant, and beautiful.
As is their mother, haha. :crazy:

I have a good paying job, with benefits, and bosses who are human beings.

My kids and I want for very little.

My family is mostly sane, and we all basically like each other.

And then there's DU, of course. I've become cyber friends with a few very nice people here, and most of the rest of you are okay, too! :P

On the whole, it's all good! :bounce:

that I have an income (even if I hate the job)

my health

my family's health

my friends in real life

kind people I meet in the world and here at DU

20. Come to think of it:
much less than I thought I would coming into this month.

In fact, tomorrow, I won't be giving thanks at all -- and I will urge others not to. This November, it should be 'No Thanks Day.'

I'm thankful for my husband and my marriage; my cat and my 4 cockatiels; my family, my health, my cooking ability (my turkey's in the oven :) ); the sun shining; being able to pay all the bills and still buy christmas presents; college; my friends.

basically my life!

29. Not being of age to be drafted
DU

People like Bill Maher and Al Franken to help keep me sane

My dog, Scout Wellstone Cobert

That our family friend, an ex-special forces guy, is still alive

My family...the side that cares about me, that is

The end of the marching band season

This week off from freshman year of high school HELL

Being able to endure stupid teenage issues with a satirical, cynical, smartass-y attitude (ex. no love, no true friends, etc)

My blog that lets me vent out things and lets random people share my pain

And I'm sure there's a lot I'm missing...

32. My kids. Three boys ages 22, 18 and 13.
They are healthy and intellegent (democrats and progressive liberals).
Without them here for me to fall back on during the bad times, I wouldnt be here today.
I owe them my life.
