Gratitude and thanksgiving

[karlht]

I am thankful to have lived to 50. I really didn't think I'd get here.

I am thankful for my friends, both near and far, both past and present.

I am thankful for the opportunity to travel, to visit new places and fall in love with them.

I am thankful for a job doing work I believe in with people I enjoy, for a reasonable wage.

I am thankful for the people willing to speak truth to power, to call out injustice, discrimination, and the insolence of office, in a world where it is increasingly dangerous to do these things.

And if you are reading this, I am thankful for you. More than likely, you know why.

Be good to one another, and hold on.
