Since the meaning of Thanks Giving is Giving Thanks for what you have, here's what I'm thankful for:
I'm thankful for my friends. They keep me company. My friends encourage my endeavors, whatever they may be. They are part of my happiness.
I'm thankful for Eric and bootcamp. I'm healthier because of it. I'm happier because of it. And I have met some good friends and Dave because of it.
My family, because they are family.
I'm thankful I'm healthier than others. I'm able to walk, see, taste and hear. I can eat. There's food on the table. I have a home and I have STUFF. Maybe too much stuff.
I live in a country where there's food in abundance. I live in a country where others will fight for my freedom instead of trying to take it away. I live in a country where we can openly debate the election of the first African-American president. I live in a state where we can openly debate the right or wrong of same-sex marriage.
And I'm thankful Dave's in my life. He used to keep up with me. Now I'm trying to keep up with him. He shows me how to be goofy just because he IS. I'm thankful he's on a path that is the same path I'm on.
I hope everyone has a list like this to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving.
