I'm thankful for: Having enough attitude to 'educate' people who stare or make comments -- knowledge is power and using it well takes strength of character Having the will to survive all the things that could make me bitter and miserable -- there will always things in life that aren't fun or easy but I always get by somehow and I know I always will Having good friends and worthy enemies -- sometimes our enemies tell us more about ourselves than our kind friends who don't always say what we need to hear Having strict and demanding parents -- I may not have had the happiest childhood, but it's made me a confident adult and I'll spend a lot longer living as an adult than I did as a child Having the courage to take big chances -- why be safe at home when you can live? Having a remarkable life with few regrets -- so far! And, most of all, I'm thankful for the miracle of caffeine -- life would simply not be possible without it |
