Some Things I Am Thankful For...

1. my life
2. God
3. my mom and dad
4. Lauren and Simone
5. my friends
6. being glad that school is officially out after 16 entire years of doing nothing but sit in silence with something new to learn
7. college (which is why I love to go and experience more stuff than ever before)
8. my house (I only have a few years left to move out)
9. my single life and Love Quest (I'm looking for significant others of same interest and I only have a few more years of being single and a virgin left until marriage IRL!)
10. my inner life of shadhardblogger
11. money (I did not know I was officially rich due to me growing up autistic, and not only am I really broke while looking for physical coins and cash, but there will be more grants, scholarships, internships, SSI and more, including paychecks from the real jobs.)
12. my pet dog Zellie for twelve years and counting, but am sorry for the other dog Dakota who passed on nearly two months earlier
13. some writing as ministry (I know in my past experience, I wrote tons of drafts physically and sometimes digitally before coming to the blog - most of them are made out of Old Shame, but the first official thing in forever to be published and to update new content biweekly is Time Bomb. I pretty much enjoyed it because the first and only arc completed after 13 chapters of posting in six weeks is about finding true love as unexpected from the times unknown. Originally for NaNoWriMo 2015, I decided to go for Grey Petals, a coming-of-age story because it's about Blake and Alexa understanding each other's problems to court gradually. The new publication date will be on June 10, 2016. For the changes of date, Freya will be switched back to undetermined to reduce the stress and rush for Christmas 2015. Moving on to Where It All Began, I decided that this could be ministry writing, but I practically won't shove religion down anybody's throats because it's officially creative expositional writing, focused on the book of Genesis from my perspective and looking back on what I've observed through my life. Social Justice of the Holy Spirit? I think I will hold on to it for the next few months, or even years because my brain could come up with the idea for the purpose on what SJotHS should look like.)
14. books (I know I have tons to read, but life is short.)
15. the blog (Yay! This website is officially two years and three months old since it was created.)
16. amazon.com (I have 120 things to order, but I'll take my time on whatever I spend on.)
17. etsy.com (I currently have 11 things to order, but I'm not sure if I have an etsy gift card physically or not... Oh well!)
18. music (it really means a lot to me)
19. autism (I am proud of it!)
20. the business to build
