Much Obliged

Things I am thankful for:

My Mamaw, Mom and Kneeholeon. There are some cool chicks in my family.

Anne – she is just the damn best. She listens to me and gives me the advice I need whether I want it or not.

Being raised in The Great Lone Star State. It’s a Texas thing. Y’all just wouldn’t understand.

My interaction with animals and my pets. The meanest horse in the pasture just loves me. Hell, I even had a 25 minute conversation with a fox at a cemetery once. I did all the talking. He was a great listener and just sat there and looked at me. It must be the Injun in me.

The Injun in me.

I am glad to be the gay and/or foreign magnet. I have met some really cool people in my time. I do appreciate my straight and/or American friends too.

My ability to socialize with CEOs, Presidents and celebrities. Then being able to have interesting conversations with normal people. You know, people that really work.

Thank God for my boobs. I just love them. They are fun. When I get Work when I am 40, I am going to have them made into perfection so they can proudly stare the world in the face. And then poke it in the eye and have it thank me for doing so.

I can cook. I mean I can cook like a son of a bitch.

I can adapt to any given place. I can navigate the streets of New York, London and Paris. I can drive a tractor and groom a horse. I can swim in the ocean and pick coconuts and bananas. I like to sit at the top of a mountain for hours and just take it all in. I can find contentment just about anywhere.

The friendships I have sustained for many a year.

I am thankful for my thoughtfulness and generosity. These are the best qualities I possess. I get them from my Mamaw.

I am glad I have my wits about me. I have been fairly successful without ever stepping into an institution of higher learning. There is something to be said for self-education. Not because you have to, but because you want to.

I am thankful for all the opportunities presented to me whenever they occur.

My bluntness and sometimes brashness. You never have to wonder about where you stand with me. I will tell you.

I am glad to have been the most popular girl in the room a time or two.

My appreciation of the arts. I totally get it. When my friends come to NYC, I conduct Speed Met – a 1.5 hour tour of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, specializing in all my favorite works and honing in on what also appeals to them. And I do it for free. I could also do Speed Louvre. Speed Kimball I can do blindfolded.

My good humor.

I have a backyard in NYC. I am gonna fix it up right this summer. A pool, flowers, a new BBQ and table with umbrella, chairs and chaises. and a Texas flag flying high.

I have nice handwriting.

I am grateful for the traveling I have done and will be doing in the near future.

I can hold my liquor.

My spirituality.

Lessons learned and no regrets.
