Happy Thanksgiving

Well, I'm at Mom's right now, and I have to admit I have been pretty grumpy so far. It finally struck me, too, that being grumpy on Thanksgiving is stupid. I have SOOOO much to be thankful for. I have a great (if dysfunctional) family. I have a decent job. I have a good roommate. I have been lucky enough to have an amicable divorce instead of a messy one (the papers are turned in - just waiting on a court date). I have a reliable car. Clothes to wear. And I have lost 98 pounds in 5 months. What do I have to complain about? Sure, my hair is falling out, but I bought some wigs and everyone I know has been very supportive. So I should be thankful that I have some options. Not to mention, all my research indicates that my hair will grow back. I'm lucky to know the hair loss is probably temporary. So why allow myself to be crabby on a day specifically set aside to be thankful. I'm embarrassed I allowed myself to act so childish.
