In the spirit of the holiday, I figured I'd throw together a nice little list that encapsulates a few of the good things in my life for which I should be thankful.
Now, we all know we're all grateful for our family (usually--we basically have no choice in this matter anyhow, and we might as well be thankful that Grandma's around to slip a fiver in your pocket while she still knows who the heck you are), our friends, our health, our jobs in this dick bag of an economy, blah blah blah freakin blah blah.
I get it. You're thankful for boring shit. Cool. Me too. Moving on.
Shit I'm Really Thankful For:
1. Box Wine. Or, if we're being honest--all wine. Especially of the White Moscato persuasion. Just saying.
2. Waking up at 7 am and being like, "God freaking dang it, I don't want to go to work", and then realizing, to your bewilderment and absolute wonder that it's Sunday and you can go back to sleep and dream about Ryan Gosling in his thong. Or whoever/ whatever floats your boat.
3. Putting on your skinny jeans for the first time in months (years?) and they fit. And, you know you look hot. So you flaunt your damn shit.
4. The first bite of a really good cheeseburger. Or veggie burger. Whatever. Both are still really good.
5. When your favorite song of the moment comes on the radio at that perfect moment when you're driving, and you scream it out at the top of your lungs.
5A. When your favorite song from years ago comes on the radio at that perfect moment and it instantly brings you back to an amazing moment in your life. And you scream that shit out at the top of your lungs.
6. Realizing, for the first time in your career, that you're actually really good at your job.
7. That moment when a blob of bird shit lands directly in front of you, less than a foot away, and you're like, "Hell yeah, asshole bird, you missed! You stupid flying butthole!".
8. When you're standing on a particularly long line at the grocery store with your arms filled to the brim because you didn't think you'd actually need a damn cart but you ended up getting like 56 more things than you'd planned to and you're sweating and you're late to be somewhere and then... miraculously... a cashier comes up to you and kindly whispers to you,"I'm open over here, miss". Fudge yes, you are open, you little munchkin.
9. Really, really good, long hugs from someone you've deeply missed.
10. The moment you catch the eye of a sweet little toddler in your passing and they smile the sweetest, brightest smile you ever saw.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.
I truly hope that whatever it is you're thankful for, you're thankful for every single day, because it's all a gift.
