Things to be thankful for, redux

Inspired by Starheadboy's post, and also a brush up on my "thank you thank you" post from a year or so ago.

Things to be thankful for:

- I am healthy, I am whole, I am here
(I am open, I am vulnerable, I am free)
(and holy shit, I'm happy)
-The exuberance/enthusiasm/excitement has not dwindled with age- in fact! It only seems to escalate with each advancing year (!yeow!)
-Train tracks to drink whiskey and walk upon, foreverfriends to walk (and, occasionally, sleep) upon them with.
- the last vestiges of the veneer of "cool" being stripped away and shed
- Being able to make good decisions ("immakingagooddecision!!!") for myself, and having them be supported and applauded by the people I care about.
- The people I care about being able to make good decisions.
- The people I care about finding solace, happiness, comfort, the inane, the majestic, the miracles, the magic, forever and always.
-Relationships with family/friends/lovers that evolve and expand, that improve and grow closer, that hum with honest and healthy communication and mutual aide, versus silence, stagnancy, gossip, and self interest. People wanting to be closer! People wanting to be healthy! I am still amazed by this. Its awesometown!
-My family, my family, my family- and their enduring support, stability, and sense of humor.
-The family we've created- the simple reality of having a core of friends that you can actually trust and rely upon, that you can plan a future with, that you can make promises to, and keep them (dare I say it.. the beginnings of a .. gasp! community!!??)
-Filthy, filthy, filthy smut talking, making obscene jokes and gestures, inappropriate dancing in public. Being lewd and crude and disgusting without hurting anyone.
-Ingenuity and imagination- and the flood of projects/ plans I'm working on or plotting out for the future.
-The fact that all the weird/nonsensical/bizarre/absurd/un reality/gibber/jabber joke making and story telling is understood and appreciated by at least some percentage of good people in this world.
-Being able to feel well cared for.
