Gratitude Post

Ok, enough of this. I feel dumb moping around and feeling sorry for myself. There are tons of things for me to be happy about, so I feel like I should take this opportunity to list a few of them... perhaps more for my own benefit than for any of you Noodle fans. But whatever, this is going to be good:

-Obviously I need to list the love and support I get from my friends and family.
-I have a job with an adequate paycheck when there are a jillion people out of work and starving to death.
-Every single one of my senses is intact, including the one where I can tell mere fractions of a second after I've opened my mouth that I've said something inappropriately for the moment and/or company.
-I am a pretty good cook, even without using recipes my food comes out delicious.
-Sometimes I have trouble being thrifty, but for now, that's not the end of the world.
-There is a pretty cool individual somewhere out in the world who's into me and who provides me with lots and lots of sweet lovin'.
-I don't pay rent.
-I own (almost all the way) my own vehicle and can afford (almost all the way) its upkeep.
-There are plans in the works for me to go on a vacation to England at the end of January. Lots of people never *ever* get to go anywhere.
-When I need to be, I can be pretty realistic about things. But oh, just give me the opportunity to dream and watch what I can creatively come up with!
-My smile lights up a room and people know it.
