Thankful in Year 24

Well, I still haven't started on my essay that is due tomorrow but I wanted to take a few minutes to write about the things I am thankful for. I am thankful for my friend Taryn, my car wouldn't start this morning and she happily came to pick me up. I am thankful for my friend Ben, as he helped boost my car, not once, but twice. I am thankful to have my daughter home safe and sound. She seems happy. We had a really nice talk tonight as I put her to sleep. She said "mom, did you get married this weekend? I want you to get married!" What a sweetheart. I told her about the dance I went to, and how I danced with my friend Ben and he spun me and dipped me. And she laughed and showed me how her auntie spins and dips her. I told her about how Ben was my hero of the day and she say "MOM! You already told me that!" And that was really lovely. I wish that I was attracted to guys like Ben because he would make such a wonderful husband. Actually the guy I have a crush on probably would too.. I'd like to get to know him… Sadly I don't know how to put myself out there. I feel like when I was younger I always had someone on the go… It gets lonely being a single parent. Especially when you have full custody. Or maybe these are just excuses I make for myself. I know in a year I'll regret not putting myself out there more.
