I'll bite on the blessings thing:<br /><br />1) I am blessed to have a sister who has forgiven me for being jealous of her many gifts all these years and has not only embraced but encouraged me to move near her where I can make a life surrounded by cool people.<br /><br />2) I am blessed to have been able to have thirty years with a guy who, while often difficult, sometimes in the last year to the point of nearly driving me to consider suicide, really was my soulmate, had the same warped worldview that I had, and was gorgeous on top of all that. I am also blessed to have not known of the ticking time bomb that was his brain for all those years. And I am blessed (and so is he) that he was able in the end to pass without knowing it was happening and without pain and fear.<br /><br /><br />3) I am blessed to have been able to find a job at age 53 for which I was manifestly unqualified, but which I learned to do well, and has provided a good retirement plan and good medical insurance. It's nearly killing me, but there's that.<br /><br />4) I am blessed to have bought my house in 1996 so I will walk away with a nice pocketful of cash.<br /><br />5) I am blessed that my mother wasn't going through one of her fits of writing us out of her will when she died. <br /><br />6) I am blessed with two adorable cats who give me a reason to get up in the morning when everything else seems futile.<br /><br />7) I am blessed with good neighbors who helped with snow removal in one case and stalwart friendship in another.<br /><br />7) And I am blessed by a few very good old friends and some wonderful new ones (like you!)<br />Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865082576641051315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465072391199760560.post-76812813045502928392014-06-24T03:01:40.724-05:002014-06-24T03:01:40.724-05:00Damn, girl, that's a pile of hassles all in on...Damn, girl, that's a pile of hassles all in one text message.
