So I give my appropriate thanks to all the people, places, and things that have made, and will continue to make my life so exhilarating. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have enjoyed such an interesting and memorable ride over these past years. The journey has not always been easy, but it almost always has been a true adventure, and for that I consider myself to be unbelievably lucky. I sincerely hope you feel the same and even if you don’t here are nine more reasons to at least smile if not be, outright thankful! Cheers!
1) Not only after a big holiday meal but year round, I am thankful for stretch-band slacks and Beano.
2) I am thankful that turkeys do not choose to do the same things to humans as we do to them.
3) I am thankful for our governmental foibles and failings – so I can focus on anything BUT my own screw-ups & personal responsibilities.
4) Isn’t it great that cheese cake is 90% cake and 10% cheese rather than the other way around or it would be REALLY fattening.
5) I am thankful that ‘FLIP’ mini video cams don’t actually do THAT while you are filming, or the recordings would be jumpy and hard to watch even in high definition.
6) I’m thankful that meteorologists routinely indentify ‘dew points’ so they can remain regular and Pepto-free.
7) While I am thankful for ’Black Friday’, I would be even more grateful if ALL other races had their own bargain shopping day too.
8) I am very thankful that there are only 24 hours in a day or no doubt NBC’s extended ‘Today’ show programming would still be going into tomorrow.
9) And finally, except for when I am in San Francisco, I am ALWAYS really happy with the toy in my ‘Happy meal’
