My renewed and enhanced ambition. That’s what I am thankful for.
It has become a tradition for me to put up a post on this blog every Thanksgiving that describes what I am thankful for each year. Any of you who regularly visit this page know this very well, and I enjoy reading about what you are thankful for in your comments. It’s funny how just a simple name of a holiday will prompt people to acknowledge that, even with all of the bullshit that might be plaguing their lives, there is atleast one good thing that they appreciate about their own existence. That’s why this is one of my favorite holidays… that and the fact that it is the one day of the year that I have every excuse to stuff my face with food.
Anyway, getting back to my ambition… what I am thankful for; I am going back to school this winter! In addition to that, I finally landed a job where I have some real responsibility. I am the new freight manager at a local Dollar Tree, which might not sound like much, but you guys have no idea how much people bust their asses in that place. I work 5AM to 1PM, five days a week now, and I’ll tell you that those eight hours each day go by so fast. I don’t have a single moment to sit and breathe. We are going out straight from the moment we get in there until the moment we leave. It’s nuts, but very rewarding since at the end of the day I can actually see what I’ve accomplished.
Moving on to the school thing. I’ll be going to the York County Community College, starting this January. I have already been accepted, and I go in next month to enroll for my classes. I’m thinking of balancing computer-related courses with some creative writing, but the latter will not be my main focus unfortunately. I have to think practical, and I have to acknowledge the possibility that my work may never get out there. It is more important that I focus on creating a good foundation for my family’s future. I’m not saying that I’m not going to focus all of my free time on my dream… it’s still very much alive! In fact, you can all look forward to some posts about Trea’Loong: Fann’s Ascent in the near future.
That’s all for now. As always, I hope that you are all relaxed on this day and enjoying the time — dysfunctional as it most likely is — with your families.
[EDIT] … I guess that I don’t have the following that I once had. The current time is 11:09 PM on Thursday, November 29th. Is anyone coming here anymore?

It’s funny, I had this nice, heart warming comment a few weeks back to post here and when I did post it I didn’t realize that I wasn’t logged in and all was lost. I was going to write another comment, but it didn’t feel right to try to duplicate what I had written, until now.
Since we are near the end of the year I would like those that I cherish know that I cherish them. My husband, kids, best friend and family. You all are why I am who I am. You all suport me and love me unconditionaly and I know that is a rare thing to have. I’m lucky to have tht kind of wealth.
So when I toast at the end of the year, I will toast to you all. Thank you and I wish you all many blessings and good health.
Have a nice Holiday everyone!
