I have a lot of things to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. Let me count the ways. One and most important thing is I am alive and healthy. I can still work and do. Not much physically wrong with me. Mentally that might be another story.
My kids are healthy. They are not sick. Thank God for that.
And my nice house. I have been here twelve years. Longest I ever have lived anywhere. It feels comfortable and feels like home. It is home. I am the only one (besides my kids and exes)who have lived here. I decorated it the way I want it. It feels great!
There may be things I want that I don't get but as far as need I have everything I need. My bills get paid. I always have lots of food. I will never go hungry. I have good transportation. I used to drive old cars that could barely get me where I needed to go. Some had no heat in the winter. Some had no air in summer. But about 10 years ago I bought me a new CRV. My friend Jane loaned me the money for my down payment. I kept that car for eight years. Then I got this Jeep. I have had it for two years. Long as I can drive I will have a good car now.
And lets not forget books. I have lots of books. I had rather have a good book than anything else I know of. I have a stack of about 50 right now that needs to get read in the near future. And there are lots of others I would love to have. One can never have too many books.
So I got a nice warm house, I got a car, lots of food and books, and healthy kids.. What could anyone need besides all of that? I feel so lucky. And I am happy with my life right now.
