Giving Thanks — Blue Ink Alchemy

This is just a quick list of things for which I'm giving thanks this year.

I'm employed by a good company with great coworkers, decent pay and actual benefits.
I have a place of my own to live in even if it gets a bit cramped sometimes.
My wife continues to put up with me, despite my failings, shortcomings, frivolity, selfishness and brain farts.
I still have the determination to write, even if it's just a blog post like this one, every day, until I get better and/or get published.
I'm healthy, sane (relatively speaking) and more stable now than any previous time in my adult life.
I have a ton of kickass games.
My family continues to show me what it means to love, to support, to encourage and to never, ever give up.
I've made fantastic friends with lovely, smart and talented people, even if some of them I've never met face to face.
I still have my faith, hope and love in spite of everything this world has done to try and dissuade me from holding on to them.
I also still have my looks.

I hope wherever you are and whomever you're with, you enjoy today and remember to give thanks, even for the little things.
