As I sit here at 11ish on Sunday night, I'm getting grumpy about my four-day weekend disappearing. I won't get another until next Thanksgiving (unless I take time off) and I felt like it got wasted making food for Thanksgiving and parties that we had to go to. I didn't have one day completely to myself to just relax and enjoy.
And then I thought about it - I spent my entire weekend in the company of my family and friends. What better way is there to spend Thanksgiving weekend?
It made me think about what I'm really thankful for. I didn't do the typical Facebook post listing everything that I'm thankful for. I used to, but anymore I feel like people just like to talk about what they love in their life to make everyone else feel bad about theirs. I could be wrong, but Facebook should really just be called LifeBrag or something because that's what people do. Facebook rant aside, I have a lot of things that I am thankful for, but I don't want to irritate people on all social media outlets.
So while I'm feeling cranky about having to go to work tomorrow and not really having a relaxing long weekend, I'm incredibly thankful that I have a job to go to, and that I actually like my job. I'm also thankful that I have friends and family that want to spend time with me, and that I want to spend time with. I am thankful that I have the time and resources to make Thanksgiving dinner for my family. I'm very, very thankful that I don't work in retail anymore. I'm thankful for my husband, my dogs, my house, my life.
All things considered, it was a good weekend, and now I need to get to bed so I can function at work tomorrow.
