I am thankful that my parents are both still with me, and doing fine. My mom had open heart surgery in August, and my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer this spring.
I am thankful I am healthy ... and that I was finally able to quit smoking in March of this year, after smoking for 15+ years!
I am thankful for my son, who is a good kid at heart, minus the smart mouth and the eye rolling.
I am thankful I own a business that pays the bills, doing what I love. And I'm thankful I was able to buy my fun little car this year, after not having a new car since 1995!
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
