What Are You Thankful For?

I've been thinking about this for quite a while.  I like to think that I have been more fortunate than most, I have healthy happy children, I no longer have to waste my weekends watching would be race drivers turn left and crash, I am mostly fortunate.
I was reading that the things the poor have are actually pretty nice things.  I am glad that we are all managing to do well at all, when you consider things.  In a little less than a year, we will have the opportunity fix a horrid mistake made almost four years ago.
I am thankful that my children are healthy. I am thankful that they are intelligent and that they don't take after their Father very much. (Speak the truth and shame the devil) I am also very thankful for the friends that I have, especially the ones who have stood by me through thick and through thin.
I wish that people weren't so complicated, but I am thankful that the things they teach me make me a better person.
I am thankful for my dog Calliope.She has a thing for stealing tomatoes and bananas, but overall, she is a wonderful dog.  I hope that we will all be better off in a year, I hope that every need we have is met.  Hold your loved ones a little closer, smell their hair and love them. You never know what is coming.  You'll thank me later.
