After years of mom telling me the point of living is not just to "be happy" I find myself, for the first time, -- happy. Content -- OK with it all. And thankful. So it CAN be happy people who are thankful, but I get what they're saying. Thank you Mom.
This year I find myself particularly thankful for:
- The courage to change jobs -- again. Knock wood, it seems to be going well.
- Something has shifted in me and I've made peace with staying in Charleston longer. Duncan got a boat and I bought a bathing suit somewhere not Costco. Whoo-hoo, at this time of our lives we live at the coast and we're going to make the most of it.
- Doors on closets
- Teachers
- My high-tech achievement of the year -- transitioned to a Mac and a phone that is smarter than me.
- My low-tech achievement of the year -- I've learned to knit and am almost done with a "twirly" scarf - a very forgiving 1st project.
- Knowing more people who like to play Bananagram
- It has been a year relatively free of committee work. That's about to change so I'll take a moment to appreciate it.
- Those big things that I've mentioned in years past remain constant -- very thankful for Mom, Duncan, Duncan's job, health insurance, many good and dear friends. Very thankful, these are truly big - really the only things that matter.
