Thankful

It's Thanksgiving in the U.S., and while I take a break between shoving the turkey in the oven and peeling potatoes, I want to express my thanks.

To my family, for being there, as a jab in my side when I need one or a rib-crushing hug.

To my job. Thanks. It's nice to have a steady paycheck and a career that fills me up.

To the world. You know why. The mystery and wonder you share is pretty damn special. Even when I'm scared (like in the dark).

To the InterwebTM for brining me in contact with a talented group of writers and artists. Blog high-five.

To that talented group of writers and artitsts...thanks to you, too, for inspiring me to keep at it. Whatever "it" is.

To my brain, imagination, and stubbornness: all for one, and one for all. I'd be drooling in a corner with out you "guys". Sometimes I still am.

So thanks. Those of us in the U.S. don't own thankfullness today, so go get some. Or share some. Or whatever.

Out.

Sometimes we just don't deserve to be happy, but we do it anyway, because thats one of the many human conditions.

Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Polson.

Cryptic as always, Buckley.

Alan - thanks. ;)

Jameson - I'm still in the midst of mine (the coma).

Virtual hi-5's back at you. Enjoy the long weekend.

That's what I'm here for.

Hope your turkey day kicked ass : )

Jodi Lee (Morrighan) said...

Hope you had a great day, and overdosed on turkey!

Aaron Polson said...

Thanks, Danielle.

I will, Jamie, I will.

Natalie - Yeah, the turkey's. Har.

Jodi - Mmmmm...overdose. The funny thing? I never eat much turkey. It's always the other things (stuffing, cranberries, sweet potatoes, etc.) that do me in.

I wish I'd read these on Thanksgiving, because mine align with it almost perfectly. Hope your side-dishes overdose was as pleasant as mine!
