What I’m Thankful For

Thanksgiving. I think of pilgrims, pumpkin pie, turkey and football. In reality, it’s all about what we are thankful for in our lives.

Every year when I write my Thanksgiving article, I try to think of something meaningful to share. Sometimes it is easy, other times it can be hard.

Last year I wrote about how retailers are ruining Thanksgiving. That was easy because it makes me mad! The year before, I wrote about just being thankful after a pretty tough year for my family.

So this year I want to return to being thankful theme.

I think it’s important to be thankful whether it’s been good times or bad. So here’s some things I’m truly thankful for. You might see a few that are in your list too. These are in no particular order except for the first five.

God’s blessings in my life
My wife
My children
My family
My health
My career
My friends
My daughter’s scholarship 🙂
My sense of humor
My home
My black lab
My military service
My country
My freedom
The stock market
Good movies
Sports
Good food
Music
Vacations
Holidays
Chocolate
Coffee

My list could go on infinitely. Maybe that’s the point. There’s so much that we should be thankful for in our lives. The key is to be thankful throughout the year not just at Thanksgiving.

So I’d like to wish you a Thanksgiving “stocked” full of happiness.

Happy Thanksgiving!
