Thankful

So the turkey has all been eaten, so I guess that signals the official end of Thanksgiving. My FIL is here (for ten days...) so that was another person to eat the leftovers.

As we pass another Thanksgiving, I give thanks for all my many blessings. I'm thankful for my wonderful children and my wonderful husband and my wonderful, though much too far away, family. All the usual suspects, but true nonetheless.

I'm also thankful that while I still feel like shit much more of the time than I would like, the world and my life in it is a lot less bleak than it used to be. My heart feels pinched much less than it used to, I feel less like screaming and banging my head against the walls than I used to.

All of this is for the good.

It's been so gradual that I can't say when it happened. It wasn't like opening a window and letting the sunshine in. It was a slow leakage of darkness, that continues all the time.

I'll be thankful if it keeps on keeping on.
