Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

There's a lot to be thankful for, here at the end of 2015.

1. I made it through. We made it through.
2. I still have the same job I started the year with. I really didn't expect that, in the dark days of May, June, and July. I still don't expect it to last, but I'll take what I can get.
3. I have pretty good drugs, and a therapist.
4. It's difficult to express just how grateful I am for my family. Special call-outs to Colleen, whose love has gotten me through some of my darkest days, and Naomi, who somehow managed to talk me back from the edge of a pit of despair and to come up with the off-the-wall practical ideas that will get us through the next decade or so.
5. Hope.
6. Rainbow's End. (No thanks to its plumbing, however.)
7. Tiny houses, and the people who live in them -- and blog about them.
8. Mom. 95 years young as of Monday.
9. Curio, who in his too-brief time with us taught me how much I needed a cat, and in the end taught me to cry.
10. And, finally, I am most fervently grateful that things were not as bad as they could have been.

2016 is on probation so far, because of G's work stuff... but somehow I still have a very definite feeling it is going to prove MUCH friendlier to us than its older sister, 2015, was. Just a hunch, but a pleasant one.

That would be good. Still concerned about work, but any year that doesn't include five months of clinical depression and two of acute anxiety is going to be an improvement.
