Thankful Thursday

Another Chance Ranch is hosting Thankful Thursday.

I have so many things to be thankful for that it is hard for me to think of just one on this first attempt of mine to join Thankful Thursday. Nate seems to be mostly potty trained now. He takes off his diaper and pants in the morning by himself to go potty, then goes potty throughout the day on the chair with few accidents. That's certainly something in which I'm thankful.

I started this school semester yesterday by my first day working in the psychology lab. The opportunity to work in this lab certainly makes me thankful. It's experience I need to look better to graduate schools, and I'm working with a truly talented professor.

Mostly, though, I'd say I'm thankful for Aaron. He is aware of my neuroses and helps me to either overcome them or deal with them in daily life. He accepts my oddities, and doesn't tease me or make fun of me for them. His eyes light up when he sees me, he laughs at my (crappy) jokes, and he doesn't mind that I don't wear makeup or shop for fancy clothes. He makes my life more fulfilled and complete. He amps the amplitude of my life.

I'm also grateful for two nut chocolate chip cookies. Wow. So good. Maybe I'll post the recipe tomorrow. Or, I can talk about those oddities and neuroses. Hmm. Something to think about.
