Giving Thanks...

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving today, so in the spirit of giving thanks, here’s what I’m thankful for:

I’m thankful for my family and friends. They all drive me bat-shit crazy on a regular basis, but I appreciate their quirks – in small doses.

I’m especially thankful to J for taking care of the majority of the household chores - cleaning, groceries, baking and margarita making.

I’m thankful for my sense of humor and the margaritas because without them, I would have totally lost my mind by now.

I’m thankful for The Boy and his sense of humor because without it, he would have made me lose my mind by now.

I’m thankful my in-laws are hosting the turkey dinner this year for the whole family. I’m especially thankful for not having to have those people in my house for an extended period of time and being able to leave when I want.

I’m thankful today is a holiday and therefore, I do not have to spend time with my boss or co-workers.

I’m thankful for my job, but would be more thankful if I was doing something else, somewhere else.

I’m thankful that I’ve have the ability to travel and see “the world”. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to appreciate that there is so much more to life.

I’m thankful for my health. Without it, well…let’s just say I’m extremely thankful for it.

I’m thankful for my blogging friends because you guys take me to different places and share different experiences, all without having the expensive airplane ticket. Thanks!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Eh…

January Blows...

The Holidays are behind us for another year, the parties are over and the decorations have been put away. Now what? Apart from some indoor exercise, maybe the odd movie, some reading, an afternoon nap on the weekend and perhaps some weight loss, there is nothing to look forward to in the short term. The Holidays are a bit of a let-down in that respect. So much hype and then when the excitement suddenly stops, I’m left feeling lost – like I’ve forgotten to do something. I usually like to complain about the winter weather in January, but I can’t even do that because it hasn’t been that bad… yet. It’s been cold, but we have certainly been lacking in the snow department. I know winter will arrive and then I’ll have LOTS to keep my “bitter meter” ticking, but until then, what’s a girl to do?

Q&A With Myself...

Today is an anniversary of sorts… Today marks my 2 nd anniversary at my current place of employment.   Over the last 2 years, I’ve had some  a lot of spare time to reflect upon the career path that I’ve chosen and what wrong turns have lead me to the cube where I sit today. I’m not happy with some of the choices I’ve made, but I’m not going to dwell on those – life’s too short .   Each wrong turn has led me to something different, some new experience.   I’ve met some great people, others that aren’t so great and those who should be forgotten, but sadly are etched upon my soul.  I’ve learned some things along the way and have laughed at myself and others while doing whatever it is that I do.   I question whether I should have become a sell out and an ass kisser, but realize that I just don’t have what it takes.  I like being able to hold my head high and know that I’ve gotten to where I am in life by being honest – with myself and others.
