Being Thankful

This week is like a long week of Thanksgiving that culminates in a huge feast of food with family. Honestly, once Halloween is over my mind and heart start getting into Thanksgiving and holiday mode. Like many people I battle depression and it's always worse at the holidays. I'm lost alot of people I love during the holidays. I alwasy seem to reflect on my past year and years more during this time.

Also like alot of other bloggers, I have some very shitty real life conditions to deal with right now. I'm a single mom with several pets, lots of debts and responcibilities. I'm recovering from the ending of a relationship of over 4 years. I've been unemployed for over 18 months, can only work part time due to health problems, have no new job prospects, make just slightly over the limit to recieve any form of gov't assistance, am barely able to keep the roof over our heads and food in our mouths. I know that my situation is not unique there are sadly millions of other parents out there struggling just as mightily as I am or worse. My family will not let my go without. I may eventually lose my vehicle but I have enough friends and family with either extra vehicles or willing to drive me that this won't be a total diaster.

Getting back into the social scene is a bit scary at first. It is fraught with mishaps, misunderstandings and heart aches when your heart should not yet be involved. This week before my ball runs out I want to remind myself and others of the things I am grateful for. Take time in my life to thank those people who help me make it through another day.

Who I'm thankful for right now:

My Lil Bit who took a page from my soon to be ex-hubby and left me "I Love You Mommy" notes all over the house, in the freezer, dishwasher, my pillow. It was sweet and heart warming from a lover. It's utterly adorable from your 7 yr old.

My 2 Great Danes, 2 horses and my parrot who never fail to make me feel completely and unconditionally loved on a daily basis. You might not understand this if you aren't an animal person but nothing makes me happier than to see a 1000 lbs of running and squelling across the field b/c she's so happy to see me or a 200 lb acting like a happy Toy Poodle b/c his mommy's home and<b> petting </font></b>him!

My friends here in blogville for their love, support, laughs, reminding me I'm normal (within this context anyway), and sexy. I have some truly great friends here and wouldn't trade them for anything. I'm thankful for my friends from here who aren't bloggers but are still great friends. And of course for my family and friends who are there for me everyday in my sucky life.

I'm thankful for a hot boytoy who I originally met here, isn't anymore but kept in touch regardless. He was a decent FWB last year when I 1st met him but he's become a Great FWB. Amazing how much 18 months can change someone. It's good to have a hot, sexy young stud who makes your toes curl, tells it like it is, doesn't make any excuses and yet gives freely of himself even if only for a short stay here. I'm really going to miss him when he's gone. Here's hoping there's lots more sessions like the one we had a few days ago!

Take care sexy people and love each other well!
Much Love,
LeeAnn



Kisses,

As you know, I know all about tough times, we BOTH are having our share of them, aren't we? I'm glad you can still find the ability to be thankful, even though we have a lot of crap to deal with, it could always be worse, and we should be thankful for those things (and people) we do have.

Oh, and as the others said, that is a hot "action" pic. Very hot indeed.

Dave,
It is really hard when sitting in this little dingy of ours and viewing life all around us to always see the things we should be thankful for but this week I'm not allowing myself to do anything but be thankful. You are so very right, it could be much worse and it is important to be thankful for the things and especially the people we do have in our lives.
Glad you enjoyed the pic, hope to have more to post soon!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hugs,
LeeAnn

I'm not sure I'm thankful, just wondering who that LUCKY guy was in the photo??? OMG.. NOW that is something to be thankful FOR!

You're correct, my love, time to be thankful for those little things in life. I'm on my way this evening to a wake. Long time friend of mine who perished from the ravages of diabetes...

I am even thankful for the pains my arthritis is giving me...At least I can experience them.

God Bless and thank you for being so sensous and fun to be friends with. I am sure the year ahead will bring much better things into your life.

Hey JC,
That lucky guy is a FWB of mine who's in the army and only here for a brief stay. I met him last year and he's back for a short time again this year. Unfortunately, he'll be shipping out for several years soon. But he and I are great friends and yes we have some amazing sex that we are both thankful for!

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. So very sad, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Like you I'm thankful for the aches and pains. Thank you for the blessings and hopes for a better year ahead. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
Big Hugs,
LeeAnn
