I know it is somtimes cliche to write about Thanksgiving and the obligitory What I Am Thankful For.

I don't care.  Because every so often, it's healthy to count your blessings.

So for what am I thankful?  It's SO much:

• I'm thankful of course for my family.  They have supported me in many ways over the years, and I honestly wouldn't be here without them (logistics aside, obviously).  My parents... well, they have made me the man I am today, and I am so blessed to have them in my life.  We LAUGH all the time when we're together, and have a great relationship as adults.  I can't say enough...  And my sister and I are great friends who laugh at each other's jokes all the time, and more than anyone else in the world, she "gets" me.  Scary.
• My friends.  I've got a very diverse group of friends, but whenever they get together, they always get along.  I have gay friends, straight friends, writer friends, quiet friends, and even friends who don't mince words when they don't like my behavior.  Everyone should be so lucky.
• My job.  I am so lucky to be employed in IT.  Texas lost almost a million tech jobs, and that was about the time I started working here.  Not only that, but I get to work for a community non-profit that's doing work I feel strongly about.  And they really, really need me, almost as much as I need them.  I can't believe my luck sometimes.  Seriously.  I'm very happy (most days).
• The fact that some people read this site.  What I write here is not always profound, nor is it always entertaining, but it IS all me, and anyone who got to know me by reading this site will tell you that it's a pretty good picture of my personality.

I have more, of course, but I just wanted to hit the high points.  Happy Thanksgiving to my US readers, and everyone else... well, have a good week, okay?

Happy Thanksgiving, dollface. Enjoy.
