There are so many things to be thankful for, but in my Scandinavian way, I can't help but think of all the people who have so little in this world. I don't want to be a downer, so I'll stop and just enjoy the moment.
The moment...slept well last night. Almost everyone is healthy again. We will get together with friends and my friend is good enough to host us all. We have jobs, decent paying job. True, bonus would be nice, but doubtful this year. Yes, I have some bratty kids this year, but you'd be bratty too if you had their home-life.
OK, this is when I miss my extended family and I think, "What the hell am I doing out here is OREGON?" Do I really live in OREGON? It's so far from everyone!!! But it is reality. THIS IS IT. We live in Oregon, we really like it, and our needs are met. And hey, some random survey said this is the #1 place to raise a family. If you like suburbia. Which I do and don't. Conflicted on that.
Back to THE MOMENT. I will say some prayers for those who don't have what they need.
I will enjoy my family and friends. I will be nice, especially to those closest to me.
