Our planet, Earth and everything good in and about it;

rain, sunshine and the flowers and grasses that they produce - which in turn give us the oxygen we breath, the food that nourishes our bodies and even medicine that helps us through illnesses;

every blade of grass, every leaf on every tree, every hill, every mountain, every stream, every ocean and the vast variety of flora and fauna that we share this creation with;

peace, love, kindness and joy wherever they occur;

farmers, field workers, architects, carpenters, craftsmen, doctors, nurses, teachers and educators (including clergymen), first responders, sanitation workers ... how much bandwidth do we have? 

for all who are mindful of others who struggle in life and make occasional gestures and acts of kindness towards these;

for all of the people who have touched my life in positive ways (for some, it's been a mixed bag!);

Music, art, literature - all of the creative types and entertainers that provide us with diversion when we need it;

that I got out of bed again today under my own power and that the breaths keep coming;

and rather cynically, I'm glad that world-wide things aren't any worse than they are.  Optimistically - happy knowing that we can all grow and make a better world.

Y'all!

Happy Thanksgiving Day to everybody - everywhere regardless of faith, nationality, color and creed!  Remember - we're all in this gravy boat together!
