One hundred days of gratitude

Today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. It's also only 100 days until a highly skilled surgeon modifies my anatomy and gives me what I have always dreamed of. The little boy looking at himself in the mirror with his genitals tucked between his legs won't have to tuck and dream any more. She'll be too busy dilating!

Being thankful is not something I do only on Thanksgiving. I still thank the Goddess every night for the day I just had, the good, the bad, all of it. So I will be expressing thanks for the next hundred days and beyond.

I have so much to be thankful for in general. I have the most wonderful spouse in the world. Familial relationships are not without problems, but I am still grateful for my family. I am very thankful for my friends, near and far. I am thankful for my job, a job I am actually liking now and which pays me well, and for the people with whom I work. I am thankful for the career I am starting to build and for the satisfaction I get from listening to people and, I hope, helping them. I am thankful for the soft, plump, affectionate kitty with whom we share our house. I am grateful for our house, for good neighbours, and for the wonderful area in which we live. That's not even the end of the list, but I'll wrap it up by saying that I am very, very grateful for the life I now have.

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian readers! And thank you to all of you who read my outpourings and for all the feedback and points of view that you have given me over the years. You have made a difference to me.
