Thanksgiving has arrived at a good time for me this year. I really need to focus more on what I have instead of what I don’t have. So here are a few things I’m thankful for.
– My family – my parents, siblings, and little niece, who has already changed our family for the better in so many ways!
– My two cats. They’re great companions and bring me so much joy and comfort.
– My wonderful friends. When I’m in one of my defensive, lone wolf moods, it helps to know that I have true friends in every corner of my life who can be counted on to have my back, walk alongside me, and challenge me if necessary. I am really embarrassingly blessed in this area.
– My beautiful home that’s just the way I like it!
– My church community. It’s not perfect, but it’s what I’ve been looking for all my life.
– My city, with its great food, great basketball, and great soul.
– The ability to financially support myself comfortably.
– My beautiful, reliable car!
– Living in an era of vision correction.
– The fitness room at my office, without which I would struggle to get enough exercise.
– The fact that even though the days are short right now, they WILL get long again.
– The heating pad on my mattress. Greatest invention ever. I would be miserable in the colder months without it.
– My freedom. I don’t have to “submit” my life to anyone but God, or put up with any tomfoolery.
– My availability to spontaneously spend time with friends and help people.
– Libraries.
– Shoes.
– My upcoming staycation on Christmas week. I am looking forward to it as a man in the desert looks forward to an oasis.
And finally, my blog readers! Thank you all for taking the time to read. It means a lot to me to know that someone is out there. I hope you all have wonderful Thanksgivings!
Happy Thanksgiving, Brenda. I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
I hope you have a lovely day today. :)
