Blessings

So, after reading my 24 posts, in less than a month, it occurs to me that I have many blessings in my life that I'm not thankful enough for. I came to this conclusion this morning while at the dentist's office.

Blessings

1) I apparently am gifted with good genetics when it comes to teeth. I was told that I have amazing teeth and if I don't drink too much soda, I will never have cavities and never lose my teeth. Yeah! No dentures for me :)

2) I have really good friends. I like to think I was blessed with a really good judgment of character so I pick amazing people to be friends with. Honestly, they are always there for me, they listen and support me, and they have my best interests at heart. Really, I'm friends with some of the most amazing people in the world.

3) I have an amazing mother. Seriously, she taught me so much about myself, and she taught me so much about how to interact with other people. She is so strong and so inspiring. I've said it many times before and it's so true, I will be a lucky woman if I end up with half her strength and intelligence.

4) I am an intelligent person. By no means can I calculate the complex equations involved with quantum mechanics or aerospace technology but, I can carry on an adult conversation about current events, literature, politics, economics, or any other liberal art and some physical sciences and be able to hold my own and not sound like a douche. If someone tells me something and I don't understand a part of what they're saying you better believe that I'm going to look it up and figure out what they're talking about. I like being in the know.

5) I'm pretty damn cute. I've had many positive comments on the following things: hair, clothes, weight, eyes, ass, breasts, legs, smile, and face. These have not all been given to me by friends, family members or boyfriends, some have been given to me by perfect strangers. This all leads me to believe that I am at least cute, if not pretty, and maybe bordering on beautiful.

6) I am not starving, malnourished, wanting for water, or living on the street. I live a pretty decent, albeit hard working, middle class lifestyle. Though at the moment I am missing the "nuclear family," I still find myself enjoying where I'm at with my life.

All in all, not bad! Even though life is sort of wonky right now, I have a lot of things in my life that make it a pretty decent life.
