Once a year comes a day when we are specifically reminded to give thanks (at least in the United States). Hopefully most of you out there are thankful more than once a year, but if that’s all you can manage then it’s better than nothing. I want to take a minute to list in no particular order some things I personally am thankful for.
- My beautiful wife
- The people who surround me and support me (You know who you are)
- Employment that pays the bills while letting me do something I love
- Al Gore – for inventing the internet (Actually, that’s a joke)
- Modern medicine
- Freedom – It wouldn’t be possible without the sacrifice that many have made
- Role models – For taking the high road when it wasn’t easy
- Bicycles
- Choice – The absence of choice is tyranny
- Sight (it makes it all possible)
- Genuine conversation with another person
- Positive people – We wouldn’t have Thanksgiving without them
- Pumpkin pie with whipped cream
This list could go on and on and for that I’m thankful.
Thanks.
I recall having a “What are you thankful for?” conversation 2 years ago where someone threw out the overwhelmingly incisive answer of “Hot girls.” Ah, the true spirit of Thanksgiving.
