i celebrated thanksgiving last month, but i hope it’s alright i hop on the thankfulness train anyways!
i have a tendency to focus a lot on the negatives in my life and all the bad things that have happened (esp this past year), but i have a lot to be thankful for as well.
i’m thankful for my parents, even though they’re a lot some days, and that they’re still alive and all they’ve done for me over the years.
i’m thankful for my kitty, bonk, and that she is in perfect health and doing well. her teeth are in great shape, she has a clean bill of health, she hasn’t even had a hairball yet! she’s crazy, but i am so thankful that she’s healthy.
i’m thankful for all of my friends, on and off tbt, and all the kindness they’re shown me. i know i can be a lot sometimes, too, so i’m really thankful to my friends for putting up with me. <3
i’m thankful that i have a home. it’s not a great one, but i have a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, and a place to stay. that’s really all i can ask for.
i’m thankful for all of my favourite shows, stories and movies, and that they were created.
i’m thankful that i have all 5 of my basic human senses — i can see, i can hear, i can smell, i can taste, i can touch. i’m also thankful that i have all of my limbs and basic abilities, and that there isn’t anything dangerously wrong with my health. i’m not the face of perfect health by any means, but it could be so much worse, and i’m grateful that it’s not.
i’m grateful for my late kitty, zeva, and for all the love she gave me and everything she taught me. i wish our life together had been longer, but i’m so grateful that we had a life together at all. because of her, i know what being truly loved unconditionally feels like, and what it feels like to love selflessly and unconditionally in return. she’s the reason i am who i am today. she saved my life, and made me human, and i am forever thankful to her.
i am also thankful for my late kittens, mazikeen and alize, for all the love they gave me and for showing me that it was possible for me to open my heart up to a cat again. i thought zeva was it for me, but they proved me wrong and i am so thankful they did.
i’m thankful for all my belongings.
i’m thankful that my foot/ankle fracture is just a small one. it’s been hell, but it could’ve been a lot worse.
and of course, i’m thankful for this community and everyone that’s a part of it! tbt, all the events, and everyone i’ve met on here have truly enriched my life, and i’m so thankful that i came back here after a 2.5-3 year hiatus. this community is the best.
there’s a lot more that i’m thankful for, but this post is already insanely long, so i’ll leave it there haha.
