Man, I love this time of year.
Traditionally, I’ve always been a Christmas guy, and have never really given a holiday nod to a thanksgiving. I don’t really love turkey particularly. Yams and potatoes cause you to take naps, and being trapped at a table talking to relatives you don’t know because of tradition isn’t really my thing. There’s that green bean casserole — I can get excited about that. It’s good when the green beans are fresh, and whomever makes them happens to throw in bacon and puts in some of those fried onion strings. Yeah, I love that.
But That’s just food.
My Steelers never play on thanksgiving; The Lions are boring and although I love the state of Texas, the Dallas Cowboys can eat a bag of hell. That’s where the nap comes in, traditionally.
That’s just the day itself. On any given day, you can make a turkey and find sports on TV….
I gotta say, I am thankful for what I have. Life is pretty good. Especially this year.
Here’s what I’m thankful for:
- My family — the lot of em. They teach me, pretty much daily.
- My wife. 28 years of her, and she of me. I got lucky there.
- A grand kid! Can’t wait to see what that brings.
- My Job — I found my niche early, and am still doing what I love to do.
- My bike — It’s paid for, and in the garage.
- America. Just… America. The constitution is a beautiful thing.
I have less than some, and more than a lot. Either way, if you’re thankful for what you have, it propels you for the future.
At least I think so….
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving.
