Three things I am glad to have in my life right now:

• Peace. I don’t want any drama around me, on me, near me or hanging over me. Granted, when it’s around, it’s usually not me manufacturing it. Regardless, though, it can still get on you. But for the moment, the air is clear of that shit, and that’s the way I like it.
• Integrity. Maybe it’s weird to be thankful for feeling like I have my integrity, but you know what? I am. I’m an honest person. I don’t bullshit. I don’t try to manipulate others. I don’t try to use other people. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I try to act in accordance with my values and beliefs, all the time. And while it may be a little less convenient sometimes, it’s SO worth it to feel good about myself and how I interact with others. And that is something I am grateful for feeling.
• A soft spot. As in, I have a big heart. Now, that’s not to say this has never come back to bite me in the ass. More than once, really. But you know what? Even with that knowledge, I wouldn’t change anything. I am who I want to be.

I guess the gist of today’s three things is that I like who I am, I think. And while there are things I’d like to improve upon, I am happy overall. I can’t imagine a better reason to be thankful than that.
