Happy Thanksgiving

Today was a good Thanksgiving.  Spent the day at my sister's house with the family enjoying a wonderful dinner and each other.  Now I am sitting at home, with no work looming in the morning.  I am watching the Jazz spank the Bulls (at least they are at the beginning of the 3rd quarter) and I am trying to think of what I am thankful for.

There is a lot of course, when I stop to think about it.  I am thankful for my wonderful wife.  I am thankful for four beautiful, funny kids.  I am thankful for my parents, for my siblings and the love and joy that always fills my heart when I get to spend time with them.  I am thankful for a job I enjoy and for the friend that led me to it.  I am thankful for my recently completed degree.  I am thankful for the many opportunities that I have had to spend time on stage.  I was able to be in four productions this year (one of which opens on Saturday), and I was also able to perform with an improv troupe that I highly respect throughout the year.

I hope Thanksgiving was as good to you this year as it was to me.  I hope you all can find something to be thankful for.  Now if next year I can add being grateful that the Cubs won the World Series, then that would be the best.  Just sending that out to the universe.  Let's see what happens.
