Be Thankful

Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  Here are a few things I am thankful for:

1. My family.  They are strong.  They are fun.  But most of all, they show me how to love unconditionally.
2. My old friends.  They still listen to my problems and my joys even when I am miles away.
3. My new friends.  There are some very good people here.
4. My job.  I.Love.My.Job. And my wonderful work study students who are so unique, lovely, and make me proud everyday.
5. My beautiful cat Sophia.  She's moved with me over 13 times.  She's such a good girl.
6. All my life lessons.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.
7. Tea and good coffee.  They make me happy.
8. My tattooed, handsome, complex, genius, treats-me-like-a-queen, gentleman.  I could go on & on . . . but that's another blog entry.
9. Sparkly snow.  Oh yes, and snow angels.
10. Rum.  Rum.  Rum.  Yum.
11. My health.  I am so thankful to be OK.  I am OK.  (So quit worrying so much MOM!)
12. My Sarah!  Who always has the best advice and is the best friend a girl could have.  I MISS YOU!
13. My lovely blog readers.  Thank you for sharing another year with me!
14. And of course, 

 My life here . . . now.

Love,

Nik
