Thanks!

Well, I started this post before thanks giving, and then got really really, really busy.  It was meant to be a Thanksgiving post. Its late, but I'll post it anyway, because when I am this blessed I can't not talk about it!  This season, I feel especially grateful for the people in my life.
  I think at least every other day, at least for a moment, I am seized with terror, by the uncertainty of the future.  Not being settled and not having a long term plan is... unsettling and can bring me to a state of panic pretty quickly.  But then, there is always someone near that brings me around with kindness or humor or common sense.  I really am surrounded by people that support and inspire me.
  Today, when I was on of the verge of the usual freak out, I was able to walk the 20 yards to my Grandma's house and visit her.  What better to sooth nerves than my Grandma?  She tells me cute stories, and tells me that I'm great, that she loves me, and topped it all off with a performance on the accordion.  It was the kind of performance that would cheer even the grinch.  So, meltdown averted.  Phew!
  This is just today's rescue. It seems as though at the end of everyday, I have someone to thank for an intervention, comfort or just a fun time or nice conversation. My darling employer and the kind people that I've met downtown, or my amazing aunts, uncles or cousins, my precious friends here and far away, the people in my ward (some relief society ladies brought me cookies at work yesterday, and it made me happy!) My family especially and even the wonderful people I've met at the gym and the couple who lets us all come over and play on their rock wall and silks!  I'll just say that I am so blessed by the people around me!
 PS.  I am not freaking out so much anymore!  Only once a week maybe, do I feel panicked.
