Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the US. I hope all my American readers had a very happy Turkey Day ;) I've seen some pretty funny shit regarding Thanksgiving on the internet. Well, pretty funny for a non-American, like 'The Pardoning of the National Thanksgiving Turkey'. Hey, it's a BIRD...and it's FOOD! No need to pardon it :p I'm sorry but I really had to laugh while watching that video. Oh well, all that really know me know I am 'allergic' to Holidays and I like to make fun of them ;)
It also made me reflect on what I am thankful for. First and foremost, and I know my kids are not gonna like it, I am very thankful for meeting Chitown. He was a good friend to me while I was still married and an even better friend after my divorce. And he made me see again what love is, something that was missing in my marriage.
Then I am very thankful that I have such a wonderful son. I know the whole divorce thing is hard on the kids, even though they're both adults. My son lets me live in his house for free now, until I find a job and can chip in. He lives with his dad now. I kinda feel guilty about it, it's the parents that have to take care of the kids and not the other way around and I know he has loyalty issues...which I find very understandable of course. He's gonna spend Christmas with me so I can't deny it this year :p
I am also thankful for my case manager at Social Services. She has always been there for me, got me to study, helps finding jobs...as a matter of fact she asked me to apply at the financial department of Social Services, they have a job opening for an administrative employee. I wasn't sure I could apply but she says I have all the skills they need, otherwise the restaurant would have gone bankrupt. See? That's what I mean, she believes in me :)
So yeah, I had my own Thanksgiving ;) Said a little prayer for all I am thankful for...
