Thanksgiving is a very interesting holiday.
While originally a harvest festival, the event has turned into a day where people look at their lives and take stock of what they have. Over the last several months I have really refrained from posting too many personal thoughts on the blog; however, I feel this is an appropriate time to share some thoughts.
I am thankful for (in no order) my:
- Wife
- Past failures and future successes
- Parents
- Job
- Friends who look out for me and provide direction in life
- My two cats, regardless of the fact that they drive me nuts
- Car – I mean, come on!
- Health
- Flexibility and options in life
- Access to information
This is the second day where the classic Deadwood quote come to mind: “No one gets out alive, Doc”
Sure, that sounds morbid for Thanksgiving wishes but the truth is that we, everyone, should be thankful for all that we have and we should be thankful every single day of our lives, not just one one day. All that we have, from life and friendship to material goods are precious gifts that can vanish in the blink of an eye.
I wish you all a happy thanksgiving. Even if you do not celebrate the holiday, I wish you the best on this day.
