A day early

So I'll get started a day early, in hopes that I actually stick to this... A month of giving thanks. I was talking to my roommate Erica tonight and told her that I feel like this year (meaning school year) has been rather full of negativity. And it's hugely frustrating because I'm generally not a negative person at all-yet I find myself sucked into this negative pattern. And I don't like it. So this month-or rather next month-will be only one part of my trying to get out of the negative rut and thinking more positively. Some days will be longer than others, and honestly, part of me is nervous that I'll come to a day that I have to think really hard about what I'm thankful for-though I hope this isn't true. I want-no, I need-to be more thanksful. So here I go.

Today, I will tell you that I am so thankful for my teammate/roommate, Erica. I am so blessed to have her. She's willing to listen, willing to talk, and willing to kick me in the pants when I need it. The past year and a few months would not have been what they have been if it weren't for her. So, Erica, thanks :-)
