Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

Of course, it’s the day to think about the things you appreciate, which is great. It’s a wonderful idea for a Holiday, don’t you think? Setting aside a special day to feel lucky. Spending time thinking about all the stuff that you’re glad you’ve got. Have a big meal and take it easy and spend time with some people you care about.

That’s pretty Goddamned cool, if you ask me.

So in honor of the holiday, here are some of my Thanksgiving things I’m thankful for…

• The love and fun pets bring to our lives.
• People to laugh with.
• Friends who love you. When they agree with you. When they don’t. When you make sense, and when you don’t. They just love you and want for you to be happy.
• Having a big table full of food.
• Kids…usually.
• Husband hugs.
• Leftover turkey.
• A fire to daydream at.
• Coffee time on the front porch. Inhaling the trees, soaking up the wind. Feeling connected to the rest of the Earth.
• Getting more Zen. Every day I get more Zen I appreicate, as well as every day I don’t quite make it, which helps to me realize why I want to get more Zen in the first place.
• Second chances.
• Being healthy and happy. Having people I love be healthy and happy, so far as I know, anywho.
• Everything.
