Thanksgiving

Everyday I wake up and list off five things in my life I am thankful for. They can be personal. They can be small and frivolous. Still, when I feel my life heading south, so to speak, I start reeling them off. Call it a personal rosary of sorts. As we approach the holidays, before the hype and hysteria hit, stop yourself for a moment and fire off five things to be thankful for. Here are some of mine...

I am thankful for...

Friends who don't always understand me but still care

An old truck that still runs

My son's voice as he belts out AC/DCs Longway To The Top....

Breakfast

I can run

Although it is what I do and not who I am - my job

A roof and a yard

Music

Parents who are in decent health

Cold mornings

The first cardinal of spring

The smell of dinner

Good doctors

That my brothers aren't perfect

Vivid Memories

Strong coffee

Artists

Roger Williams Zoo

Beaches just a short ride away

I can still play hockey

The color green

My wife's garden

Matteo's friends

Now knowing how to swim

A cluttered garage

Other writers

Good conversation

Poets

That I can walk from one point to another

Dragons

Red Wine

Matteo

...Pam...

Happy Thanksgiving
