Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving has become my favorite holiday.  I have many things to be thankful for and it is important for me to review these circumstances and remember the people who sustain me and remind me that we are not alone, we are all a mess and life is short, so here we go:

I am thankful for: Having been given a fine education; a brilliant, talented, loving, beautiful and demanding wife; a loving family with dog and cat included; good friends; a comfortable home; health insurance; health; nature; meditation; my teeth (all original and greatly fortified); the use of all four limbs; electricity and running water; wholesome and delicious food; wood and steel; not living in a war zone.

What I would like to work on: Judging less; being less angry; forgiving more; playing more, loving more, spending more time outside, spending time with loved ones (outside, dog included), fearing less and taking nothing for granted.

Happy Thanksgiving.

So good to know and acknowledge that the list of what you're grateful for is longer than what needs work!
Gratitude is contagious- keep going!
