7 Things I'm Thankful For (redux)

So what are you thankful for? People oftentimes answer this question mentioning the typical things. They're thankful for their spouse (hopefully). They're thankful for their kids and grandkids (if they have any). They're thankful for their job (many are hurting in this area in our day). They're thankful for their health. And so on and so forth. Right?

And these are all important things to be thankful for. Don't get me wrong. I would be the first to say it. But there are so many other things that we don't always highlight or think about when the bottom line is we really count on these things and owe a lot to certain other people we don't always take time to recognize. (Isn't it true?)

The following list might not mean much to you, but it does to me. These are things that I really couldn't live without right now, quite frankly. Also included are people I owe a debt of gratitude to that I don't always take the time to let them know. So here are:

7 things I'm thankful for (redux)...
(Original version of this post: HERE)

#1: My car. It's got over 150k miles now. Has no heat. The clutch no longer slips (fixed that). But it coughs (going up the grade especially). Bottom line: It still gets me to where I need to go (work).

#2: This great country of ours. There's still no better place on the planet to live. Many have given their lives for our freedom.

#3: My eyeglasses. I still can hardly see with them on. Just think how I'd be without them.

#4: My deodorant. It's no longer sweet pea and violet scent. (We used to receive goods from a local distribution center). I've graduated to Right Guard Sport.

#5: My shower door. It still doesn't close completely, but just enough so I can get myself squeaky clean.

#6: My bosses at work. They (Emmett and Ann) are still sacrificing much to keep the company afloat and provide for the families it represents. No amount of words can repay all that they've done.

#7: Forgiveness, love and hope (still).
