Happy Thanksgiving!

So, this is the day that we in the US gather to mark a day, which according to legend pilgrims who landed on what is now US soil, and would had dinner with those who were already here. They named them Indians because of where they thought they landed.

All the noise aside, let me list a few of the things I am thankful for as this day takes place.

  • That I have mobility that allows me to get in my car and drive anywhere I wish.
  • For the ability to get out of bed every day. I know of some who can't.
  • For those who have the ability to make chemicals that permit me to keep my mind at an even level.
  • That I have a home that keeps me warm and safe.
  • That my food today will be cooked by my wife, and family. I know there are some who will have a meal cooked and served by strangers.
  • For my dogs and cats, who teach me about life.
  • For friends who witness my day to day events and still are my friends.
  • For a wife who is my companion and partner on so many levels.

Just a few. I'm sure there are more.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
