Being Thankful

I am surprized that summer is over and Thanksgiving is upon us.  I have been thinking, long and hard, about what I am thankful for.  I am thankful for the following things:

I can think, most of the time, clearly
I got to go fishing this year and could still cast my line out myself
I can talk sensibly to people and understand what they say to me
I can and will ask for help if I need it
My son, friends and family, especially, those that are supportive and helpful
My animals, 2 cats and a dog, that love me unconditionaly, as long as I feed and water them
That I have a roof over my head and a good bed
I am loved and can give love as well
That I still can find ways to help others
That I can be a good friend
That I have not become bitter
That I can still have empathy and compassion for people
That I have a strong faith in God
That I am alive

I am sure there are other things that I am thankfull for, how about you?
