Let Thanks Begin

Due to the excess of holiday schedules and time off at my place of employment we are feasting for thanks tomorrow. In reality Thanksgiving is the speed bump from Halloween to Christmas were we are only slowed down by that triptofeeling stuff in turkey. So it got me thinking what on earth am I thankful for.  Here is a list:

*Salvation
*My family
*Matching Socks (nothing worse than a lone sock)
*The invention of electricity
*Sleep (at least in intervals)
*The certainty of uncertainty (at least I am sure of one thing)
*Losing 40 pounds in two years

Giving thanks for the most part is the ability to slow things down, to take a picture of what life really holds.  As a people we move at the speed of sound times the speed of light.  Most often we probably miss all that we have to be thankful for.  So maybe add some more triptofeeling stuff to your diet, take a nap, wipe the drool from corners of your mouth as you wake and realize we have a whole lot to give thanks for.
