After working the entire day on a post that ended in a prompt deletion, (The combination of bellyaching and angst would have put any eyeliner-wearing teenage boy to shame.)
I instead took some advice from a very wise and colorful lady I once knew and put together a list of things I am thankful for instead. Because honestly, we should all take a look around us and see the great things we have.
Here goes:
I am thankful for...
1) ...getting a wonderful guest family here in Germany. I could not have found a better fit myself and I can contently say I will miss them when I have to go this week. This whole opportunity is officially on the list too.
2) ...my health and the health of my family and friends. I have yet to break a leg here and I like to take the 'no news is good news' approach for the rest of my family.
3) ...my immediate financial security. Yaaaaay, tax returns!
So since the three big obvious ones are out of the way.
4) ...my Christmas boots, they are coming in handy.
5) ...a haircut I think that finally suits me.
6) ...the fact I have not read the Twilight books.
7) ...my ability to go to a spa whenever I want.
8) ...Eis (ice cream) because it can brighten any day.
9) ...finally finishing my first real book in German that wasn't for class. (Theo Traktor doesn't count.) It was Löcher (Holes). Check me out! I'm nearing a sixth grade reading level!
10) ...being able to continue this list if I wanted.
Danke allen.
