Naturally, grateful for the normal things, that are important but boring to list, like my health, my apartment, food, the health of those I'm close to...etc....I am also grateful for tangerines, antibiotics, lip liner, oxy nasal wash, the $.99 store, people who signal when they turn, Peete's coffee, salsa music, hot salseros who ask me to dance, Netflix (even though my latest movies seem to have never arrived), public libraries, Macintosh, dental floss, my high school Spanish teacher, friends who listen to my neuroses, chocolate, all the ex-boyfriends who broke up with me (thereby, doing me giant favors), the guys at webstrikesolutions who respond to my angry emails, my nerdy accountant, my friends who let me leave gyno-related messages on their voice mail, my Super Fun Chica Salsera Friends, and, my blog,

The there are the more abstract things like...

...the ability to feel.
...the ability to feel love.
...the ability to feel the pain that makes the love that much more palpable.
...the ability to have enough consciousness of the fleeting nature of life and moments that I don't spend it completely at shopping malls obsessing over $15 eye shadow.
...the ability to know when I need to go to therapy (pretty much every week).

Just for today, I am grateful on Thanksgiving Day.
