I know it sounds cheesey, but this IS the time to talk about what you are thankful for.  It's important to periodically look back at things that you are thankful for, just to remember all of the good things that happen in life.

Here's my list, in no particular order:

1.  My wife.  She really does complete me.  I can't think of anybody else who would be willing to put up with me.

2.  My family (all of them).  Even if I might not see them very often (or at all for some of them), it's nice to know that, in a pinch, there are other people out there who I could count on for help in one way or another.

3.  Finance For Youth.  Aside from helping others, F4Y allows me to step outside of my everyday life and do something good for people that I may never actually meet.

4.  My job.  I may not like the place I work all the time, but I'm thankful that I am able to work, and that there is a place that is willing to pay me to do the work I do.

5.  Mountain Dew Code Red.  Man, that stuff is yummy.

6.  My health.  I really am thankful that I am healthy enough to function at a relatively high level.  Both my legs work, my mind works, and I don't have any health issues worrying me.

7.  My mind.  I'm a pretty bright guy, and for no other reason than because I got lucky.  Sure, I've worked hard to learn things, but there are people who just aren't able to make that leap.

8.  My friends.  Both on the web, and the 1.0 versions that I actually get to see and talk to live and offline.  You guys keep me stable.

8.  My ability to count past ten.  No, just kidding.  My sense of humor is weird like that.

10.  All of the people, past and present, who have sacrificed their freedom and, in some cases, their lives so that I can have safety and freedom.  The word hero is thrown around a lot, but these people, --these people truly are heroes.

 

There are other things, but this is a pretty strong list, in my opinion.  So, what are you thankful for?  I want to know.
