Thanks, all, for your comments, kind words, and thankful declarations. And, I agree, it is a damned adorable picture…it’s just too bad it was taken via a cellphone, so the quality isn’t better!

I'm grateful for the Beastie Boys. Great post, I've kind of got to remind myself on a daily basis to be grateful - otherwise things have a tendency to go to shit. Hope y'all had a great Turkey Day! A Free Man’s last blog post..Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?

oooooo.
I’m thankful for the wonderful hubby who changes light-bulbs, peels apples for pies, kisses me four times before bed, vacuums the ceiling fan, laughs at all my very bad puns and thanks me for each and every meal.
I’m thankful for wonderful friends who don’t let me get away with sneaky stuff, remind me when I have food in my teeth, laugh at all of my bad jokes, tell me they love me, and like my hubby.
I’m thankful for electricity and gas, so that I can cook an amazing meal in the comfort of my home, while DVRing Bones, House, Mentalist, Fringe, RedEye.
I am thankful for the opportunity I was presented more than 35 years ago to serve my country. I spent 20 years in uniform, stateside, overseas, and on ships learning about me, other people in uniform and so many other cultures. I understand the meaning of sacrifice, I appreciate the feeling of service and I like getting that check each month just for breathing.
I am thankful for the past. Founding fathers, struggles for freedom (from tyranny, taxation, slavery, oppression), down times, boom times, my ancestors from whom I sprang, and lessons we (in the broadest sense of the word we) have learned (hopefully to not repeat).
Bonus thankfulness, leftovers!! (and this forum to remind myself how ever loving lucky I am to be here now. God bless you and your family, Muskrat.)
