Thankful
In the car this morning, I thought of my sista in blogdom Honey-Libra and the fact she’s been running a thankful page for awhile now. Others have begun to incorporate it into their blogs. I have been slow to embrace it because every time I roll the thought through my mind, it comes out crazy. However, I finally just said you know what? My stuff has always been to the left and this will be no exception. I don’t have to fit into some ‘formula’ for what I’m thankful for; so here yah go.
I am thankful…….
- that my natural hair texture is only about 8-10% off from my Yaki 1B.
- that though the body is stretched, I have no cellulite and very light stretch marks.
- that in this country you can act a plum fool, lay low and come back – Mike is on the way!
- that I have never been duped by no dude for my paper.
- that I was bomb enough to have to be replaced by four women in my ex’s life
- that the following actions are not part of my life journey: incest, molestation, rape, domestic violence
- that while listening to Lisa Raye talk about the greatness of her man, I said “You don got yourself a CAUN”
- that for some reason folks have decided I’m a good source of a lot of things.
- that my child isn’t on a path to being on Maury trying to get pregnant on purpose
- that there is no debtors prison
- that my parents were militant
- for my ability to multi-task
- that I repositioned myself to succeed at my job, without losing myself
- for all the restaurants in Atlanta
- that I am wanted by most, desired by some
- for the advancement of technology in optical care (i.e. thin glasses and contacts)
- that I have haters
- that I have ‘issues’ but no ‘problems’
- I am thankful that stressors in my life come from outside my immediate.
- for sunshine beaming through my window on Sunday
- for the cuddling and love talk my man gives me every single day
- for love
- for peace
- for progression
- for stability
- the discovery and development of Liquor
- for my DVR
- for my great legs
- for boots
- FASHIONABLE Plus Size Clothes
- My Momma told me ‘learn how to type and you’ll always be able to find work’
- that music is still alive and kicking
- that I can’t see any reason for Caun and I to ever break up
- that 40 some odd people took the time to come to Vegas for my wedding
- that I have no remaining debt for said wedding
- that I was promised money, a good home and friendships in all walks of life when I was little…and I have it.
I love this list. I was rolling about you comparing your hair texture to your Yaki.
