...Is the word of the day for tomorrow. Excessive eating. Excessive love. Excessive football. Excessive drink. Excessive laziness. Excessive excess. Get the point? Thanksgiving is the only day of the year that I am able to completely throw guilt out the proverbial window, and essentially justify being a sloth.
This year, though, I have finally come to realize that Thanksgiving, and the entire holiday season, are simply wonderful times to take stock of everything that is good in life, which thankfully for me, is just about everything. I know, you're probably thinking that last statement about everything being good belies the tone of most of my posts, but as I've mentioned before, much of what I write is sarcastic, and I should make it clear that I am a very happy person. I simply use this blog as a forum to vent my frustrations in a way that doesn't generate much negative energy. Still, to change the tune for a day and write nothing by clearly positive prose, I will lay out an honest to goodness list of the things I'm thankful for. Because like I said, my life is pretty damn good and I feel like I need to put in written words what I'm grateful for. The least I can do for a universe that has given me everything is to give back a little positive energy via my blog. Enjoy your Thanksgiving peeps.
I'm thankful for:
-My wife
-My dog
-My parents
-My in-laws (not kidding)
-ALL of my family
-My health
-My job (again, not kidding)
-My car
-My clothes
-My education
-The teachers I've had in life (not just formal education teachers)
-The lessons I've learned
-My ability to walk and talk
-My ability to smile.....every day
-Sports
-Comedy
-Music
-This blog
-My spirituality
-My entire life. If there's one thing I've learned recently, I have a wonderful life and what I experience is ENTIRELY up to me. I look forward to experiencing the dream space I've known would be part of my life since birth.
Enjoy your holiday weekend everyone. I wish you nothing but the best.
Cheers,
TWF

Happy Thanksgiving! It's nice that you can step back and appreciate all of the things that you have. Thanks for your comment on my blog. I myself would be feeling slightly more thankful if I didn't have a paper on Dante due by midnight...sadistic teachers
Ah yes, the dreaded term paper. I can't say that I miss those. Before you know it, you'll be looking back on those with a sense of satisfaction that you were able to persevere.
Thanks for the holiday well wishes!
