THANKSgiving

     In America, we set aside the fourth Thursday of November to celebrate Thanksgiving.  We eat a lot of food, mostly turkey and pie, and are supposed to think about what we are thankful for.  It is nice to be grounded and reminded that we are not alone in this world, and how different our lives would be without the simplest of comforts.  It just makes me wonder why we only set aside one of the 365.25 days a year to be thankful.

     I am thankful for…

     1) Soap.  This includes hand soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, body wash, and any other cleaning product you can think of.  Of course my favorite is instant hand sanitizer.  We have the luxury of being clean all of the time, of which more people should appreciate, (and take full advantage).

     2) Friends, family, celebrities (like Johnny Depp), movies, and television.  They are what keep life interesting.

     3) Water when I am thirsty, and food when I am hungry…and not so hungry.

     4) Vacations.  They always come just in the nick of time.

     5) Phones so I can talk to my family and friends, and caller id so that I can avoid talking to my family and friends.

     6) This blog.  I can say all I want, and have no idea that no one is reading it!

     7) Electricity.  How could we use the computer without it?

     8) Hot running water.  There is nothing like taking a hot shower on a cold day.

     9) People who care about me.  Even if it is only to occasionally read a blog post because there is nothing on television.

     10) LIFE…it is a fun game, a tasty cereal, and a wonderful thing to experience.

What are you thankful for?
