Thankful?

Let me see... my nerves are jangly and I had a bit of diarrhea this morning and I don't feel 100%.

So you want me to be thankful? In a list of 5?

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

That's about how I feel at the moment. I'm sure I have plenty to be thankful for. But it's more what isn't happening than what is.

I may be sick but not terribly.
My nerves are shot but I'm functioning.
I didn't sleep much but I'm not overly tired.
I still need to lose weight but I have food in the house for this long cold lonely week.
I hate large holiday dinners when there's 200 guests but I hope to see some friends.

When I'm in a better mood...

I might actually write a decent blog. The prompts this month have been fine. I just haven't been up to doing much deep thinking. I made a mistake of venting on facebook and ended up blocking 3 friends from certain posts. My old WDC blogger-friends are FB friends but few bloggers interact these days. I'm not sure why...

And I'm having problems making new friends. That's important because my elderly friends are dying off and my younger friends move away. Although I travel and meet many new people, I lose contact with those at home. And I miss people from my earlier life.

One can't bring back a past that is long gone.
