On this Thanksgiving day 2009 I am thankful for the following things:

1. Family – I plan to be with my family today, I have family close and will be with them for Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings.  I am thankful for having family, for having the kind of family that sticks together in life, whatever it may bring. 

2. Friends – I am thankful to have friends that share my interests and push me to be a better person. 

3. My Dog Bear – I am thankful for my dog who is always there to greet me when I come home and sleeps at the foot of my bed when I am sleeping and on the bed when I am gone.  (That is the only time that he can get away with it.)  He doesn’t ask for much, only a little food, water and a nice squeeky toy. 

4. I am thankful for nature where I see the hand of God. Always remember to stop and smell the lavendar or hug a tree. 

5. A job – I am thankful for the opportunity to be useful in this life, and to make a difference.  Also having money is kinda nice. 

6. The internet – I am thankful for this place that I visit frequently for pleasure, work, learning, shopping, news and friendship.

7. Giving – I am thankful that I have all that I need and that I can share with a few others that have less. 

And if you are reading this today, Happy Thanksgiving Day to you.
