Thankful

It only makes sense to write about what I am thankful for on Thanksgiving.

There are the obvious ones:

-Family
-Friends
-Health
-A place to live
-Food to eat
-Clean water to drink
-Happiness
-A place to go today (even though it intrigued me to spend the day alone, but my sister wouldn't let me)

Then there are all those other things:

-That I had/have the courage to:
~Deal with my anxiety
~Sign up for a free dating website
~Ask out two guys (they both said yes!)
~Make friends
~Be alone, I love it
~Finally take some action on dealing with debt

-That JM FINALLY got to go home from the hospital and things are going relatively well
-That is it is finally snowing
-That there is only a little over a year until Bush will be out of office, and well there is still a chance to get someone even worse in office (aka Fred Thompson), I am thankful that there is finally hope for a brighter future in this country
-That people are finally opening there eyes about Global Warming, it is about time.
-That I have still have options to deal with my endometriosis (even though they are few and not the best, they are options nonetheless)
-That I have a job that gives me health insurance and flying benefits
-That I like my coworkers as much as I do
-That I have a date this Saturday!!!
-That I get to see some of my best friends in the next couple weeks
-That I get to be with my family for Christmas, even if I don't end up getting Christmas Eve off from work
-That I finally felt like writing on this blog:)!

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day ...

I Heart The Office!

Image
My sister introduced me to the television show The Office . And I heart it. I saw Seasons 1 and 2 on dvd in the past week (I watched all of Season 2 between last night and today). The only problem now is that they are half way through Season 3, so I have missed several episodes and it won't come out on dvd until at least this summer... hmm, problem. But you want to know the one thing I heart even more than The Office ? Jim Halpert/John Krasinski (character/actor). He is on the show and I have a huge crush on him. I know what you are saying, you are 25 years old (turning 26 in 2 1/2 months) and crushes on famous people at this age is a little weird, and usually I would agree. It has been many years since I have had a crush on a star. But Jim/John is so an exception. In fact, if I could find a real life guy here in Minnecrap that looks like Jim/John, makes the same facial expressions, has the same sense of humor and is as nice, sweet and kind as him, so basically exactly like Jim/J...

All you need is love?

This is a question people have asked for a long time. Is it true? Is love all we really need? I think it would depend on who you ask. When it comes to young children, love is all you need. You know your parents love you and spend time with you, that is what is most important to a child. You don't understand the importance of money or work or health, all that matters is love. Maybe that is what is so appealing about childhood, why we would all do anything to go back, because we were innocent and love really was what made the world go round. As an adult, I now see things differently. Love isn't all there is, we need so much more. Some would say that makes me cynnical, but I am not. I want to believe that love is all we need and for the most part I agree with that statement, however I see that there is a lot more that goes along with love. As a parent, your role is not only to love, but to protect, comfort, support, provide, but common sense says that those things automatically go...
