I am thankful for...

I am thankful for my friends, because they are the ones who keep me sane, and give me fun. I am friends with an incredible group of people, who are all SO kind, and so accepting of anyone. Most of them have no idea how much they mean to me or how much I respect and admire them, but I do. I am very, very lucky.

I am thankful for my life. I have been lucky enough to be born in a country free of war. I have been lucky enough to be in an upper-middle class social status. I am lucky to have clean water and plenty of food. In fact, compared to many people in the world, I am spoiled rotten. If I had money of my own, a lot more than $30 a month would be going to World Vision!

I am thankful for my mother who reminds me that there are lines I shouldn't cross. She is always calm, reasonable, and rational, and I admire her very much. I hope that I turn out like her.

I am thankful for theatre, the outlet that I love most. It has an amazing power over me, and I think I would be a very different person, in a negative way, if I hadn't found it.

I am thankful for my mentors. I have been lucky enough to have found several adults who help me make important and difficult decisions, and who believe in me.

I am thankful for today. There is no day but today.

I am just thankful that I am here, and I am healthy, and usually happy.
I am thankful that I can go to parties like James' last night, and play "have you ever.." and talk about PAMR, and just laugh without ANY worries. I am thankful.
