On this day, I remind myself to be grateful for the little things...

There's no one here, but I am not alone.

There's nowhere to go, but I am here.

There's nothing for breakfast, but there is a pie in the freezer (note to self - do not defrost this time).

The Lions are 2-8, but I get to see them play today (okay, this is a mixed blessing).

There's nothing to tinker with in the garage, but a friend needs a carburetor rebuild on his dual-purpose bike this weekend.

The hair is graying, but it's still there.

It has been incredibly stressful at work as of late, but I have four days off.

Some of the Christmas light strings will invariably be duds, but I discovered this morning I had the foresight to buy four new strings, just in case.

I have enough quarters to do my laundry. This is a big deal, really.

I have the means, through this technology, to warmly wish all of you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

-Robert

Thank you for this. Gratitude is all around us. All we have to do is; think like you. Where there is stress, there is also calm. All in how we percieve it. Happy Thanksgiving to you Robert.

I too am the only one here, but I'm not alone.

I too have nowhere to go, but then I don’t want to go anywhere.

I have a lot of work to do today, but then I like working.

My body feels liked death warmed over, but my mind's having ecstatic delusions!

My computer actually booted up today, that's always a miracle!

My cat doesn't express its love for me, but deep down inside I know he adores me.

My place is a total disaster area! But that just means there's plenty of room for improvement!

My libido has forsaken me! But they say that all things pass!

I have to go pee now. But I DO have indoor plumbing! yay

14-10...hmmmm...I suppose another thing I can say I am grateful for was going to the Atlanta game when I was in Detroit - my hands hurt, and nearly lost my voice. Happy Thanksgiving to both of you...!

CCR was cool - but man - sure taking that smoke a long time to clear, eh? You know, I think this team needs some cheerleaders. Or something. dunno
