Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving.  The one day a year where we share what we are thankful for and have a wonderful feast with those we love.  If your family is anything like mine then some years there is drama, some years it is quiet, and others the laughs are as bountiful as the food.  This year I had a great thanksgiving with plenty of food and many shared laughs with my family.  But I have to be honest I didn't share what I was thankful for.  And let's be really honest know I haven't shared what I am thankful for in a very long time.  I haven't even given it much thought.  So I am going to change that right now.

I am thankful for each and every person in my life who has stayed or gone because in many ways they have helped me become the person I am now.

I am thankful for my family who encourage me and challenge me.

I am thankful for my job even though I truly hate it at times.

I am thankful for the house I live in.

I am thankful for my car despite how much it may frustrate me.

I am thankful for my collection of books, movies, and Batman memorabilia 'cause who doesn't love stuff.

I am thankful for my freedom.

I am thankful for so many things that to list them all we'd be here for a very long time.  So I will leave you with one last thing I know many are thankful for.

I am thankful for my God who gave me everything I have and gives everything I need.
