Being thankful

Winter is pretty much here, and between the cold and the state of the economy (and the state of my economy!), it's really hard to feel positive about anything. So with Thanksgiving coming up this week, I thought it would be a good idea to list things I'm thankful for and focus on the good things for a while.

I'm thankful for my health. I'm not in the best shape, but I'm rarely sick and I'm working to improve my fitness and diet.

I'm thankful for my friends and family. Yeah, they can be annoying at times, but they're there for me whether I need them or not and that's good to know.

I'm thankful for all the animals I take care of: horses, cats, dogs, etc... there is a lot of them, and they cost money to feed and vet and such, but they make me feel good and give me purpose and drive to achieve my goals.

I'm thankful I have a roof over my head. The rest of the house may look like hell, but it's mine as long as I keep paying the mortgage, and that feels good.


I may gripe about all of this, but I truly am thankful for them. Without them, my world would be a lot different and very meaningless.
