What I Am Thankful For

Thanksgiving is my third favorite holiday behind Christmas and Super Bowl Sunday. (Do not side-eye me. Super Bowl Sunday is a holiday...at least in my world.) So, I feel I should say aloud what it is I'm thankful for.


I am thankful for my family. I'm thankful for my kids and grandkids. I'm thankful for my father and siblings who have done so much for me. I'm thankful for those who have helped me out when I was in a predicament and didn't know how I was going to move forward.


I am thankful for my friends. I am thankful for those people who love me and stick by me no matter what. It is so much better than I deserve. I am awful about regularly keeping in touch; yet, my friends are always there when I need them.


I am thankful for my job. I have been at my current job 11 1/2 years. I love it! I have to commute 45 miles one way and even on days traffic is a bish and it takes forever and a day to get there it's worth it.


I am thankful for my bosses and co-workers. I have the best boss, supervisors and co-workers ever! They not only provide support but a safe haven.


I am thankful for my health. It is far from perfect but it could be so much worse. I generally fell good. I have my days but overall I am in good health.


I am thankful for my Atlanta Braves. As most know, I am a huge sports fan but the Braves are my ride or die and baseball is my favorite sport. The Braves had a great 2018 campaign and I am looking forward to what the future holds for this young exciting team.


I am thankful I live in a country that is still free. I am thankful for my freedom of speech. I am also thankful for the institutions and guiding principles the Founding Fathers built this country upon. While they are certainly being strained and tested so far they have held...for the most part.


I am thankful for The Young Turks, Kyle Kulinski, The Majority Report and other independent YouTube news outlets who are bringing accurate information to the public. Facts do matter and we should not lose sight of that.


I am thankful we have adults in the room at the White House who are keeping under foot the worst impulses of the President.


I am thankful for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayonna Pressley and the other Progressive women of color who won election. It encourages me to see even in a time of division and polarization in our country diversity still shines.


I am thankful for you, my readers! I love to write and this blog means so much to me. I really do attempt to produce quality content. I know many agree with me and some disagree but I hope you find me honest, fair and factual.


I do intend to start doing YouTube videos in the very near future. It's something I think I would be good at doing and enjoy.


Happy Thanksgiving!
