I am thankful for:
Being above ground, breathing;
Having a wife and children and family;
Having a house, giving shelter and warmth;
Having food to eat;
Having water on tap to drink and wash in;
Having access to good medical facilities;
Having computers and communication;
Having a mind that is interested in how things work;
Having friends, family and community that support me;
Living in a time and place of relative peace and stability;
Having had so many experiences - boating, sailing, fishing, cycling, motorcycling, cars, trucks, diggers, tractors, bull dozers, welders, lathes, engineering, flying, gliding, parachuting, tramping, hunting, farming, building, swimming, SCUBA and free diving, skiiing, training, teaching, loving, working on so many different teams, developing many software systems, building computers, learning new languages, traveling, having guests in our home, being a guest in other people's homes, so many different life experiences;
Having a workshop that allows me to fix or build most things I want to play with;
Having so many venues to express myself and interact with other people;
Living in a universe with so much possibility;
So much more !!!

What a vast array of threads you have chosen to weave the tapestry of your life, it makes me think of thick, rich brocade.
May your everpresent blessings continue to expand and may we see a world of peace, love and harmony.
You usually answer first, and lots of times best ;>)
I was going to answer “above ground and breathing” too. Weird, but wonderful. It is just so good to be alive.
Having water on tap to drink and wash in.
Oh, how I've taken that for granted. I'm extremely careful not to be wasteful of that wonderful resource, but I can't even begin to imaging having to lug it in pails from a river, lake or well like so many people–still today–have to do.
Thank you for that wonderful reminder, Ted.
