It's not cold. Just sayin'. It's actually perfect, IMO. Not too cold or too hot. so, like I said:I'm thankful. I'm thankful to have grown up in New Jersey. In large part because I got to experience real, actual seasons. So I learned early what I like and what I don't like. Also, I learned to drive. Everyone should learn to drive in New Jersey. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I love Fall, so I'm thankful that it's Fall now. I've heard a rumor that Starbucks is bringing Gingerbread Lattes back--VERY thankful if that's the case, but I'll believe it when I see it.
I'm actually very thankful to the people who first hinted that I might have ADHD. I have executive function issues--which I knew, but never had a name for. In related news: I'm thankful that I'm both old enough and secure enough that the occasional accusation of "laziness" simply rolled off my back. I knew I wasn't lazy because the obsessive hyper-focus (another marker, apparently. Who knew?) has always been incompatible with any definition of laziness that I was aware of.
No. I just didn't like to do the things that I didn't like to do. Which, just makes sense, if you know what I mean.
But enough about that. I'm thankful that I get to watch my son and DIL's crazy dog. Alamo is a Frenchie. Today, he seems to have mistaken one of my 5 lb. weights for a bone or a chew toy and is running--RUNNING--around with it in his mouth. Quite the workout for a little dog! But I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard and I suspect I will find a way to put it into a book, at some point.
I'm having a great day today, so can I just say I'm thankful for all of it, and let it go at that? Because I'm very thankful that I get to spend so much of my time writing fun stories for you all to read, and now I'd really like to get back to it.
