Today, I am thankful for cats and blue hair. I am thankful that I will be able to help a friend say goodbye to a terrible husband forever. I hope that I'll be able to help another friend say goodbye to her kind husband while he is away in Iraq. I am thankful for my family, which is made of people I am related to, I have chosen, and people who I chose...and then found out I was related to. I am thankful that I can still walk. Can still breathe. Can still move with some degree of freedom. I am thankful for Postsecret. I am thankful for the student that I am editing a thesis for. He wants to save his homeland of Nepal, and I believe that he can. I am thankful for my faith. The gods test me often, but I come through. I am thankful for my home state. Praise the gods that I got to be born in Louisiana. And Geaux Saints! I am thankful that I have Asperger's autism. It makes me honest. I am thankful that I can write poems and stories that haunt people. I am thankful that I am in a steady, loving relationship with someone wonderful. I am thankful for music and laughter, contentment and love, and all of you. May you always find something to be thankful for.
