Happy Thanksgiving
It is pretty much a requirement to post what you are thankful for on Thanksgiving if you have a blog, so I thought I would come over here and do that before I go to bed in just a few minutes. I have to be honest and say that there’s a large part of me that is bitter, cynical, jaded and probably more than a bit depressed that is entirely ungrateful. But the rest of me is smart enough to look around and realize how ridiculously blessed I am every day. I’m thankful for many things in my life.
… my family. They’re weird, and quirky, and wonderful.
… my friends. I don’t have a large group of friends that live in the area, but the ones I have here are awesome.
… the internet. It keeps me in touch with friends that aren’t in the area, and has allowed me to meet AMAZING people all across the country and the world. People who have been some of the greatest friends I’ve ever had, wonderful support during dark times, and people who rejoice with me when times are good.
… my job. Sure, I don’t like it so much when I’m trying to drag myself out of a warm bed at five o’clock in the morning, but especially these days, I have to be thankful for the simple fact that I have a job. I can pay my bills, and keep a roof over my head, and that’s always a good thing.
So thank you. To all of you. You’re wonderful. I’m blessed. And if you don’t mind, I’m going to go to bed, and wake up tomorrow morning the same cynical person I’ve always been.

I enjoy your blog, it’s the only one I read. Found it by accident while looking for a book by that name (I thought!) “Footprints on the Moon” guess I was tired and copied it wrong while I was listening to “Coast to Coast”. But I am glad I found it. Keep the faith, I am glad you still feel blessed. f/x (my initials) for francis xavier

Recently, I came across your blog and find it very interesting. The prime reason is honesty with which you pour your words and randomness of the topics. its simplicity pulls me here. Hope to be a regular here.
