With the world's economy tanking, it is so easy to be fearful. But I am of the belief that there are still MANY things to be thankful about. I also know that Canada, for example already had Thanksgiving and other countried don't celebrate it. But I think this would be a good time for an exercise in Thanksgiving. While I am a Christian, I believe that you don't have to be a Christian or have any faith to be thankful for something! So here are some things I am thankful for.
To start I am thankful for my faith and relationship with God through Jesus Christ. I am thankful for a wonderful group of family and friends who love and support me. I am thankful for a comfortable apartment with reasonable rents plus abundant food and clothing. I am thankful to have a car that has been repaired but with no car payments. I am thankful to live in Seattle where in less than a hour I can be in the mountains or some other really beautiful place. I am thankful that I can be in Canada in about 2 hours. I am thankful to live in a free country where there are many freedoms: religion, speech, ability to disagree with the government, the ability to do our own thing...etc.
I am thankful for the gifts and abilities that God gave me. I am thankful for being me, this balding, overweight, hairy guy, who looks great with a shaved head! I am thankful for modern technology and the ability to access the internet. I am thankful that because of the internet, I am able to make the friends I have made here on Sly Bald Guys, so I am thankful for all of you!!!!!!!! I am also thankful for my cat, Misha who is a good kitty. The list goes on!!!!!
So let's see what you are all thankful for!
