I’m thankful for:

Not having to work and still being able to enjoy myself and relax.

Having two sons who are so cute.

Having parents who are able and willing to help me out in my time of need (some parents couldn’t help their kids even if they wanted to)

Having such a great group of friends who allow me to pour out my life to them in such a dramatic way.

Being able to be myself and receive those who accept me for me.

The breeze on a humid day.

Foodstamps.

My car that doesn’t look like much but hardly ever gives me trouble.

Overcoming past mistakes.

My salvation and God’s guidance.

My baby daddy, without him, I wouldn’t have my sugarpops.

Being an inspiration to some.

Not having to repent about having sex. It’s been a minute.

My friend Mimi, she loves me.

Being able to listen to my friends stories and catching up with old friends.

Friends who show up and give me gas money.

Friends like Dianna, who take me out to eat.

Phone calls from my crazy friend Kim who whispers, “Don’t talk, just listen,” as she reads me a poem she found. LOL!

Having two healthy babies, short labors, no drugs and no complications.

A wonderful 25th birthday celebration.

Being able to start over and facing uncertainty with determination.

Having the guts not to give up.

My teeny weeny afro, and having brothers who are barbers.

Being able to hold my degree in my hand. I still can’t believe I really did it!

Having a mother who makes jello shots and watches movies with me.

Being a parent and realizing how difficult it must have been for my own parents (and appreciating them more)

The cool ppl I meet online that share without worrying about being judged or judging me.

Having a medium for my writing.

Looking damn good after having two kids.

The forces of nature that attract good ppl to me.

Realizing that giving love is a choice.

Thanks for sharing with me and allowing me to share.

Happy Thanksgiving FRIENDS!
