Happy Turkey day, boys
 
Thankful things, in no particular order:

Denise and I love each other, and make each other laugh

I have wonderful siblings (and their spouses), sons, stepdaughters (and their spouses), grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and a very tolerant daughter-in-law

I live in a nice house in a beautiful location

My generation and our children have never been asked, or been expected, to go to war

I make a good wage, and have been diligent and prudent (hopefully) in saving for retirement

For 45+ years, I have never been out of work except by my choice (three weeks in 1981)

I have very few unmet wants, and no unmet needs

The few times I have needed to be hospitalized, I emerged with both my body repaired and my mortgage unscathed

I can be at a dinner table with my ex-wife and be comfortable that while we may not love each other, we tolerate each other and can say " do you remember when" and only talk about the good times

I have almost as much stuff as I want

My mind is kept active with endeavours that I generally enjoy

I'm sure there's more, but I have much to do today

Your turn…
 
We had our family turkey dinner Saturday out in the "dining hall". More room to spread out even though there were only eight of us.

I believe I have all three and this great forum with all the great people here. Best wishes to you all!

Visited the Miners Museum in Glace Bay earlier today. Actual building was closed of course, but outside was open.

There is/was always a place where things are/were worse. Even with all the stuff that is going on, we are doing well as a family. I am thankful for that.
