What am I thankful for? Being alive!
Last night kind of reinforced it for me. Me and my progeny did not die because we were in a narrow berth.

Years ago my wife and I did not die being at gunpoint from a Cambodian Soldier.

And soon after, we did not die at the hands of the Khmer Rouge.

We did not die during our PCV experience in Thailand.

We did not die on the American Highway©

We did not die in childbirth, and nor did our children die because of disease.

This is a good run, brought to you by your local, state and federal governments.

Just sayin' - Happy to be alive.

Pleased you're alive, pleased I'm alive. Pleased there are so many others we can share life with too.
