lagilmanThis year, this incredibly difficult, painful, joyous year, that's an easy one.
I'm thankful for:
My friends, who've redefined the concept for me by their words and actions, so that it means something real and true and solid. And treasured.
The readers who wrote to me, telling me how much they loved Wren and Sergei, and how eagerly they were waiting for new stories.
My immediate family, which is almost distressingly functional and supportive.
The one who holds me in his heart, and gives me no quarter or sympathy anywhere else.
And Pandora, of course, who keeps me 'umble and in constant servitude.
And LJ, which has become both a hangout and a home.
All right, now I've gotten sappy -- I expect some responses from my fellow Thanksgiving-ers!

Date: 2004-11-24 05:12 am (UTC)I am thankful. For the little silly stuff I listed in my LJ yesterday.
For my family, which may be under stress, but is holding together instead of falling apart.
For my friends, who are holding ME together instead of letting me fall apart! (And
For my job. After many years of contracting, I've found a permanent location with good people, good pay, and good benefits.
For Micky's rare displays of affection and for DB's constant displays of same.
For DB's continued health after the kidney stone surgery two years ago. He's the best pet I ever had, and I want to have him for a long time.
For Holly House, must and mice and all, because it is a wonderful home. (Repeat comment about Mo.)
For TV. 'Cause I like it. :> Ditto Netflix.
For the internet in general, and LJ in particular. I've started to be teased for the amount of time I've spent online, but the virtual world is making a big difference in the analog one.
