Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Remember to be thankful for other, perhaps more subtle, things about yourself. Don't just focus on family, friends, food and shelter. For example, without my story and novel writing ability, I would get into A LOT more trouble than I do.
I am thankful for my patience and ability to withstand being on my own. While I do love the company of others, I'm also able to catch a matinee, shop, grab lunch all by myself while not feeling an ounce of self consciousness. I don't exactly feel pride in being anti social (well maybe a little) but more on my lack of insecurity about not being seen with others. I think I'd get into a lot more trouble as well if I felt I had to socialize every night.
ReplyDeleteI am also thankful for my immense patience when waiting for the bus or train, being stuck in traffic every single day, and dealing with huge crowds of angry people in this city. You cannot live in NY without patience or you'll lose your mind.
I wouldn't be able to deal with what you wrote in the second paragraph. Not in a million years.
