now is that gratitude

jazzfishMuch of what I'm thankful for this year are "supports for me being a better and happier version of myself." EI, especially, a year of not having to bring in income makes retraining possible. A roof over my head, and having been lucky enough in my random choice of realtor seven summers ago to get one who's a) amazing and b) had a line on a place well within my budget. Counseling, where even my misguided couple of months of thinking I was done with therapy turned out alright, getting me in with a different counselor who I'm doing well with.
Mr Julian Winterhill Tuppert is not necessarily the cat I would have chosen. He's not snuggly, or sociable with other people (or cats, so I'm told), and too prone to communicating his displeasure with teeth. But he's my kitten, and I'm his human. I'm grateful that I can care for him, and sometimes vice versa.
Most years when I talk about what I'm thankful for it comes back to "people." That's no less true this year, though I feel like I'm withdrawing in on myself to focus on school. But this year Erin and Stephanie, and to a lesser extent Mya and Julianne, have kept me stable and moving forward. I appreciate that, them, more than I know how to say.
I'm mostly caught up on classwork (one and a half assignments to go). In a bit I'm heading over to Lee's for a Canucksgiving dinner with a few folks I don't know all that well, and that should be alright too. As alluded to last night I'm not feeling terribly sociable in general these days. Perhaps newish people will change that?
