Dear Diary - Thanksgiving

 

Dear Diary

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I suppose I should think about the things that I am thankful for:

• My wonderful, master chef husband, Fluffy Bear
• My handsome Puppy Dog
• My cutie wootie Puppy Girl
• My new job!
• Any person out there who doesn't dock their dog's tail or mutilate it's ears
• Any person out there who has a pit bull as a loving, family pet
• My warm home (even though we don't own it)
• My family who keep me in their hearts, even though I am far away
• My friends nearby, my surrogate family
• My friends afar, who keep in touch
• Nordstrom, where I can go to experience real customer service at any time
• My blog, where I can express myself
• My therapist, who helps me see the connections and lessons in my life
• Anyone who fights for gay, women's, or race rights
• Anyone who works or volunteers for a charitable cause
• Nelson Mandela and FW De Klerk, for transitioning my home country without bloodshed 
• The Queen, for consistently giving us an example of dignity
• Cable TV, for entertaining me
• Books, for transporting my imagination
• Anyone who knows how to drive round a roundabout properly
• Anyone who has a hands-free cellphone kit in their car instead of holding their fucking phone to their ear and driving with one hand
• My fellow bloggers and twitpeeps
• Anyone who serves in the military, doing our dirty work for us
• Military families, who sacrifice so much
• Anyone who works in one of those jobs that's badly paid, not respected enough, yet vital to us all: Police, Firemen and women, Ambulance people, Nurses, Doctors and Psychiatrists who do public or charitable work
• My parents, who watch over me from above.

That's quite a wonderful list! :-) I think I detected the hint of a rant there towards the end ... bad driving experiences lately? LOL

Where I life, EVERY day is a bad experience...

But it's not just me.

Recently a friend came to visit who was driving cross country on her way to a new job. She has also lived in various states in the US. She said she had never seen driving as bad as in Washington state...
