Thanksgiving

This year has had its trials.  It is not in competition for one of my most challenging years, nor has it been easy.

But here, tonight on Thanksgiving Day, I feel more thanks than I do "wishing".  My cup definitely seems 1/2, well more like 3/4 full. 

My 'plan' of teaching Pyrope the academic skills he needs at home so he just needs to learn how to pay attention is working.  He is ahead academically and is comfortably staying that way.

Obsidian is growing.  After 6 months of hGH that did not work, IGF-1 is clearly working. 

I'm glad I'm at peace with Jet and my relationship at this moment.  There were parts of this year that I could not say that.  And I just don't like that.

I'm thankful for close friends.

I'm thankful for the family I have that I am close to, that I can rely on.  Not everyone is so fortunate.

I'm thankful that my view of life is still "There is always someone significantly worse off than me, and my family.  People die from a lack of love, whatever my problems might be, that is worse.  And that will never be my problem."
