What are you thankful for?

Thanksgiving Is Next Week.Thanksgiving is 10 days away. I guess it means alot of different things to us, depending on how we grew up and the importance our families put on this holiday, and holidays in general. I have alot to be thankful for. I have a beautiful family and few, but close friends. I have relatively good health and a stressful life that I can manage OK. With the economy, money is tight, but we’re all in the same boat. For me, I try to be thankful all the time, and I try to celebrate my life (and my luck) everyday. I try not to be envious of others, and I try not to look over my shoulder and say “What if” (I’m not always successful with that one!). This is a time of the year for celebration and reflection. I try to do both. I hope this Thanksgiving and the entire holiday season is good for you. As in life, it is what you make it. I’m making mine good!

    Canadian Thanksgiving has come and gone.
    Then I was and now I am grateful:
    to be alive and to be healthy enough to heal from my head injury, hopefully, without any residual brain damage;
    to have the companionship and support of family, friends (in everyday life & online), and pets who love me;
    to have a home of my own;
    to have food to eat and clothes to wear;
    to make enough money to pay my bills;
    to be able to learn new skills;
    to live in a beautiful environment;
    to live in a community full of self reliant, positively focused and compassionate neighbors;
    to be able to enjoy my life fully.

    Kittens, rainbows, lolly pops, brown paper parcels tied up with string, snow angels, and puppy's tails.
