Day 4

I feel like everyone is posting what they are thankful for, and I am sitting in a giant place of reflection.  There is so much swirling in my head, and I do need to step back and realize how blessed I am.

*Work:  Since I was 15, I've worked.  Luckily, in that 12-ish years (yuck), I've only been without work for a total of 3 months.  This time around, I feel like I have really lucked out.  I am in a small, but stable company, we are growing, and I really feel valued and appreciated.  J told me the other night that he doesn't worry about me, bc he knows my current boss will "take care of me" and that made me smile... he is right.  Plus, I actually have a full time job.. which is so rare and so amazing in the world right now.

*Family: I don't always appreciate the fact that I do have a very close knit family.  And we have our issues, but we always come out of it with love.  I get to spend every Tuesday night with my nephew, I txt with my sisters regularly (need to work on increasing that), and I talk to my mom at least 3 times a day on the phone. 
Do we always agree... not a chance.  But we understand and respect each other.

*Friends: I've touched on this, and I feel like I am working on upping contact with the people I really feel connected to.  People who do make me a better person.

*Love: It may be an odd story, but it's OUR Love Story, and to me, that makes it perfect :)

Hope you all have an amazing Friday... So excited to not have to work this weekend!!!
