Thursday Thanks

I am thankful for growing older and, I hope, somewhat wiser.      I am thankful that I have learned that, for the most part, whatever I decide to do right now in exchange for delaying something on my "to do" list is okay.      I am thankful that I am good with knowing that sometimes I am cranky, sometimes I am silly, and sometimes I am just a pain in the ass!      I am thankful that I don't need everyone to like me and I don't have to pretend to like everyone else.      I am thankful that I have learned that the only friendships worth pursuing and maintaining are those that make my life better and that it is okay to let go of the ones that don't.     I am thankful that lots of people give me second chances even if I don't always do the same.     I am thankful that tomorrow is a promise waiting to unfold even if today totally sucked.     I am thankful for simple things even if life's complexities overwhelm me.     I am thankful for variety even as I return to old favorites.     I am thankful that I realize that perfection is just a word in the dictionary and that my life is great even though it is far from perfect.     I am thankful.
