I'm pondering thankful...

...and what it means...
I don't ask the Universe for much

to live each day to the fullest

have good health for a 61 year old
still have my wonderful parents
a wonderful brother
(that I would've traded in for a puppy)
(back in the day)
a beautiful talented free-spirited daughter
a grandson that's the bomb
a heathen, mischief-making terrier
a pink shack to call home
a studio/shop in my yard
and blogland
where friends galore abound

and so far, I still live in America
once the land of the free
as corruption in government and wall street
(and FOX news)
beat us middle class down
with lies and deceptions
I'm still thankful for the freedoms
we do have left
freedoms women don't have in many countries still
freedoms to still think freely
though big brother is listening
even as these freedoms are dwindling
I still have hopefulness
that the freedoms I enjoy
will still be shared by my family
and generations to come

and most of all...

I'm thankful for my sense of humor
without it life would've been dull
the government would've driven me to distraction
Scratchy would've made me ponder a cat
BUT
life is still good
no matter how you live it
be thankful
that you did


me


Be thankful friends!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
