Giving thanks

This year I have a lot to be thankful for and this year I really feel thankful, something maybe I've been half-hearted about in the past, to have genuine gratitude. I feel blessed.

Not to say that I have a perfect life, not at all. I have a bunch of things in my life that need sorting out.  I feel unhappy at times, I yell at my boyfriend for bullshit reasons, I want to drop 10 pounds, I'm 35 and never been married, I want kids but don't want kids, I have issues with my past that feel incredibly unresolved (I should probably go to a shrink and sort some of that crap out.) But whatever, I'm human.

I have my health, a place to live, I own a business, I live close to family and friends. Those things are sacred and meaningful. So to what do I feel the most grateful for? It's probably being able to recognize who it is that I really am - and to accept that person. I suppose I'm thankful to me, to where I've been and where I've come to. Am I allowed to give myself thanks?

Well, I'm going to. Thanks Natalie.
