To all my American readers, by the time this column goes up, you’ve probably had your fill of turkey, stuffing, assorted vegetables, cranberry sauce, and of course, pumpkin pie. I hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving, filled with family, food and the other simple pleasures of life. To celebrate this season of thanks giving, here is a list of a few things I’m thankful for:
I’m thankful that I am healthy, fit, and have the opportunity to keep myself well without having to struggle simply to survive.
I’m thankful for a loving, if sometimes exasperating, family who cares deeply for me and supports me in everything that I do. Without them, I don’t know where I’d be right now, but I know I would be much worse off. Speaking of family…
I’m thankful for my loving fiancée, who has been a major support and encouragement in everything I’ve tried to do, from getting a job to starting this blog and attempting to control my finances. I love her so much, and she is such a huge boon in my life.
I’m even thankful for my fiancée’s family; from her mother who treats me like a son to her sisters that love me like a brother, it’s wonderful to have future in-laws I’m sure I can tolerate, or even like, rather than feeling like I’ve alienated everyone by taking their Sondra away.
I’m thankful for friends, both online and off, who have been there for me through both good times and bad. Thanks to them (and you; many of my frequent commenters are among those I consider as friends), I’ve managed to make it through some less than ideal situations, and will continue to keep going.
That’s enough to be thankful for in one post, I think; now, it’s time for me to get going and help make up plenty of turkey. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Happy Turkey Day Too!
(To all my non-American friends and readers who don’t celebrate the American Thanksgiving, I hope you have a happy Thursday, and tomorrow I’ll be back with some no holiday related content. Until then, stay happy and well!)
