It’s Thanksgiving time again.  The time when we are supposed to sit down and think about what we’re thankful for.   Here’s my list, in no particular order of importance.

I’m thankful that even though allergies obstruct my breathing 85% of the time, obstructed breathing is better than not breathing at all.

I’m thankful that even though I’m a bit overweight, I’m at least warmer than skinny people in the winter.

I’m thankful that even though I wear glasses, my mind still sees things clearly.

I’m thankful that even though my job doesn’t pay what I’d like it to, at least I’m employed.

I’m thankful that even though my dog can drive me nuts, it’s nice to know someone wants me around.

I’m thankful my family, because they’re always there in the end.

I’m thankful that even though I don’t get to see my friends much anymore, we still keep in touch.

I’m thankful that each day, I wake up.

I’m thankful that although I live in a town full of drugs, I’ve never done them.

I’m thankful that if I have too much to drink one night, my body tells me.

I’m thankful for Key West, Florida, even though I’ve only been there once, but it was a hell of a time.

I’m thankful music and books…they can take your mind places they may not often get to go to.

I’m thankful for my guitars, even though they’ve put me in debt temporarily.

I’m thankful for my voice, because my singing helps me make extra cash.

I’m thankful for my faith, even though I don’t always agree with my church.

I’m thankful for cuts, scrapes and burns, because at least it lets me know I can feel, and to feel means you’re alive.

I’m thankful God has blessed me with a mind that sense when things are right or wrong.

I’m thankful God has made me a good judge of character.
