Here in the States, it’s Thanksgiving, the annual holiday for, well, showing gratitude.
What, you thought I would go for the cheap joke and say “giving thanks”? Puh-lease. Even I won’t go fruit that low-hanging.
Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, which puts it late this year, and shortening the Christmas shopping season by something like six days. I would be fine with that if we haven’t been inundated by Christmas commercials and hype for the last two weeks.
But I digress. Here are a few things I’m thankful for.
Family, of course, and friends.
Readers of this blog.
That this damn year is nearly over. (Don’t ask. I’m not explaining that.)
Employment, health, a roof over our heads, and food on the table.
Here’s wishing all of you who observe the day a great Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I am thankful for family and friends and good books and the little things that makes up this colourful tapestry of life.
Thank you.
Ditto the above thanks with an added “I’m thankful for your work here at Adventures Fantastic, Keith!”
Thank you, sir. And I’m thankful to you for your work at Rogue Blades. May you and yours have a good Thanksgiving for what’s left of it.
