When my nephew helped my sister pick this shirt out for me, I was hoping he had today in mind for the day I would wear it.
It was another great Thanksgiving for me today, and I have a lot to be thankful for:
- My awesome family who has always shown me love, support, and understanding
- My great friends who have stayed with me through some hard times
- All of the many, many, many laughs I have shared with these people
- My health – 18 years cancer free, 22 years with Crohn’s but only 2 hospitalizations
- My job at Hope Lodge and all the great, brave people it has put in my life along with everyone that works and volunteers there
- Hockey – playing, watching the Bruins, BC, and Worcester Sharks, and beating Carl in video games
- The first annual Thanksgiving Morning Roller Hockey Game today
- Star Wars
- All of the US troops who have served, are now serving, and will serve
- The fact that I have never had to worry about getting my next meal
- All of the people and companies who helped me with this blog
- Music - Especially The Beatles, Extreme, and Pearl Jam
- Kevin Smith movies
- That I was privileged enough to get a college education
- All of the teachers I had that made learning interesting
- Jon Stewart and The Daily Show
- My mother’s and aunt’s cooking (especially today!)
- My Little Brother
- The Red Sox (and their World Series titles in 2004 and 2007)
- Comedians, especially Denis Leary and all the laughs he has given me
- Prince Edward Island
- Growing up in Westboro, MA
- My Crohn’s doctor and every doctor and nurse that has helped me
- I have always had a warm, safe place to sleep at night
- Glen teaching me guitar
- Sunblock with SPF strong enough for me
- The freedom I have to write…
My list is longer, and I hope yours is too. It’s a nice list to keep in your mind whenever you are having a bad day. Trust me, it helps. I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving!
