Thankful
November 10, 2009With Thanksgiving approaching it is the time of year to count your blessings. Socrates said that the unexamined life was not worth living… I think that me meant that from time to time we had to take stock of what is important in our lives. Examine, inspect, come to an understanding.
With this thought in mind, I have compiled a list of what I am grateful for. To put into words how important in my life these elements are is very important to me.
My family. We are not only the product of our genetic makeup but that is where we started out, and my husband’s family is my family, then there is my kitties and the beagle. They are family too.
My husband. He is kind and caring, loving and funny. He makes it all seem like it will be all right. He is wonderful.
My freedom. Something we take for granted on a daily basis. I am free to go out as I please, without an escort. To wear pants, to vote, to work… to do all that because I live in the free country of the USA
My job. Working with good people doing something that I enjoy is wonderful.
My life in this time. To live in a time where we have proof of habitable planets outside of our solar system, to know for the first time in recorded history that we may not be alone in the universe… is just awesome.
This is a time to be thankful, and so, I am.
