Thirty Days of Thankfulness
Day 21 - As we hit the home stretch... today I am thankful for new beginnings. There is something about new beginnings that gives you hope and promise for the future, something to help with the motivation to get life going. Like when I moved to Saint Louis. I feel like I lived out what life I needed to in Wichita, and a ( Read more... )

Day 20 - I am thankful for those in my life who take my as I am... no judgments. To those who say "oh, your bi? well good on you" and support me. Those that don't expect me to be one way or the other... but take me for the odd, quirky, weird, geeky and so not normal person I am. Thank you for being okay with me being me ( Read more... )

Day 19 - It is the beginning of the holiday week and as I look to Thursday, I am thankful for music. It is the one thing that can change my emotions so freely. If I am in a sad mood, it can lift me out... if I am angry, it can calm me down. I constantly listen to music... and I miss singing. I need to start going to ( Read more... )

Day 18 - Today, I am thankful for my mother. She is a wonderful woman who was an amazing influence on me growing up. Yes, I was a Momma's boy and will always be one. She never told me she loved me very much, but I knew she did in the way she acted and the things she did. I love you, Sue Patrick!

Day 17: Today, I am thankful for the time I got to spend with my Nana... she died two weeks before I turned 11, but in those years, I was very close to her. I loved her immensely. Today, she would have been 76 years old. She never got to see me graduate high school, get married, divorced, move to Saint Louis... but I feel ( Read more... )

I have been watching Buffy on Amazon streaming lately... catching up where I can't remember and then continuing to watch it and finally finish the series. I watched almost all of Angel ... I love Firefly and Serenity ... adore Dr. Horrible and let me just say, he made The ( Read more... )

Day 15 - As we are at the halfway point of the month, I would like to say that I am thankful that Obama was re-elected as President of the United States... because I was very scared of Romney getting elected. I will be honest of that, I was worried that we would have more of President Bush's term that we went through for ( Read more... )

Day 14 - I am thankful today... for D&D. I haven't honestly played since about April of 2011, but I miss it immensely. I was introduced to D&D in 2004 and joined a group of people who were amazing storytellers and really made learning to play D&D awesome and amazing. Then I ran my own campaign for awhile and learned the ( Read more... )

Day 12 - Today, I am thankful for social media. Sure, there can be lots of drama and bullshit that comes from it... and some can even believe that a de-friending or a status change can affect their lives. But I have made so many friends that I would have never met otherwise and moving 7 hours away from my family and ( Read more... )
