Things I'm extremely thankful for this Thanksgiving

As far as I know, the United States is the only country that has a holiday specifically dedicated to giving thanks.  And frankly, we don't thank the Lord for what we have nearly often enough.  Here are some of the things I'm thankful for:

• Being fortunate enough to live in the a country where free speech is still allowed (though not in all parts, unfortunately); 
• Living in a country founded on the principle of unalienable rights "endowed by the Creator;"
• Being fortunate enough to know wonderful people who have forgiven my numerous mistakes;
• Being lucky enough to have two parents who loved all their kids, and were totally fabulous;
• Having at least some political leaders and judges who aren't corrupt, and believe in the principles of the Constitution (though unfortunately, far too many don't support those principles);
• Being lucky enough to live in an un-corrupt city, with very low crime and reliable services;
• Being able to heat and light my home, and have hot water, at the push of a lever or switch, without having to chop wood or haul water--at least before the Dems succeed in banning fossil fuels! ("Green New Deal");
• Getting a wonderful education, thanks to some really dedicated teachers and a sane school board;
• Not having to worry about car bombs at the local market, or religious warfare;

Actually the whole list would be really long, so probably best to stop now.  Wishing everyone out there a very Happy Thanksgiving!
