usually when i get on here to write, i've got something on my mind. this time, not so much. i'm hanging out in the lounge, with no immediate homework due, christmas decorations strung around, the smell of christmas sugar cookies still lingering, and the last notes of my christmas collection emerging from the speakers besides me.
now that i think about it, it's a pretty sweet deal. i'm realizing how little i appreciate everything i have. i'm a whiner and a complainer and even when things aren't really that much of a problem, i talk about them like they are. but if i really took the time to stop and look around and appreciate the great things i have in my life. i'm attending a great school, i'm well-fed and generally healthy, i live in the best dorm on campus, i have a coat and boots to get me through the winter weather, i have fabulous friends, i have an entire pseudo-family in the theater, and i have the bestest roomies on the face of the earth. and ya know..a lot of the time...i really do have a lot less homework than i make it sound like.
i guess this is what thanksgiving is supposed to be for...but i was too busy driving and feeling awkward in someone else's family to think about being thankful last thursday.
but now....upon further reflection....i'm not sure what else i could ever ask for.
i love us :D
