Thanksgivings...

Yes I am thankful for all the generic givings of the season - food, clothing, shelter (although it may be taken over by Stop and Shop soon) but most of all I am thankful for non material things this year. I am thankful to have James in a great school where he can excel, where he can find himself and grow into that well mannered young man that I always envisioned him to become. The Church where his school is located has become a great source of comfort to us all. I have in essence gone back to Church and it feels good. You should try it. I am thankful for JoJoe's progress, as slow as it is. I still spend many nights awake worrying about him but I know I am doing all I can for my baby. He is also maturing into a great person. I just wish his reading would grow at the same rate. I am thankful for family (well most of them) and thankful that I can separate myself from the bullshit of some family members and just be me. I have also matured enough to realize if they dont like me, that is ok. I am thankful for the good health of the people close to me and thankful that I am finally able to take steps to correct the Princess' health problems. I am thankful there is light at the end of the tunnel for Nurse Jackie in her education. She has worked so hard and I could not be prouder of her. I am thankful to have my girls and see them love each other so much. I am thankful for my friends, old and new and the ability to know who are my true friends. I have to admit life is good and I am thankful.
