100 Thanks and Givings

November is notorious for 2 things: beards and turkey. But I wanted to celebrate this season of thanks by listing 100 things that I'm thankful for. Going beyond goatee's and gobblers, this month I also want to give back and so with each post this month I'm going to include Thanks and Givings!

1. rent-free living while I get back on my feet
2. a new job that's more than perfect! 
3. sisters [in Christ] who stand by my side despite some ugly sins in my life
4. a college that still helps me to get on track [even though i'm not a current student]
5. having someone to explore this city with last month
6. grandparents who supported me in high school
7. God's patience with me
8. a cell phone bill that I can afford [even if it's not working]
9. living close to my parents and other family
10. people who read/follow/support my blog
11. Emily, who is helping me to let go of him...
12. living along side other Christians
13. free bagels
14. good health [many of my friends are having serious health issues]
15. God's obvious hand in helping me get untangled
16. Caribou's free internet [can't get internet at home anymore! boo!]

giving: did dishes for my roommates, because I love them and knew they were both busy!

Well, that's a start anyways. oh, and in case you were wondering, my day is going crappy. But, I'm assured that there is a reason behind all this. It just bites. To fill you in, I realized that I was spending a lot of time with Justin (neglecting my responsibilities and duties as a friend, roommate and blogger!) so I cancelled our adventure for today; he was obviously upset and said maybe we shouldn't see each other for a while. And of course I agree, but it still sucks because I miss him. Oh, AND my phone isn't working. so it's making everything worse. I'm having a hard time staying optimistic... which is saying something! Anyways, hope everyone's weeks are starting off better than mine!
