"New Post" - to be Thankful

Today, my spirit needs some exercise in being thankful (also means less time being distraught.)


So today, I am thankful. I am thankful for the sun shining through the windows here at work. I'm thankful I have a job. I am thankful that I have friends to lean on and co-workers that care about me. I am thankful for a person in my life that cares enough to have misunderstandings with and to resolve those misunderstandings with, and who loves me so much throughout the whole process. I'm thankful for laughter and understanding people in my life. And for kitty cats that love me and are sweet and cuddly in the morning.

This morning, F came up with the typical (for him) headbutt to my forehead, and purring. (He stopped purring for a long time when I brought S into our home.) His look was so sweet - a mix between 'Good morning, I love you.' and 'Do you love me?' and 'Are you going to get up and feed me soon?!' and 'Your alarm went off, don't you want to wake up?' Isn't he sweet?! :) Really, he woke me up, to curl next to be and get petted. He was also happy that I could turn the bathroom faucet on for him to get a drink and eventually scooped some food for him too.

(FYI: this picture is of my 28th birthday - F stayed curled up next to me while I opened a number of presents. Anymore, he simply wants to curl up in my lap whenever I am just settled on the couch.)
