I know, I know, I’m getting a little ahead of myself.  But the blog will probably be neglected over the next few days, so I’m getting the well wishes up now.

Here’s a few things I’m thankful for this year in particular:

• We came through the real estate bubble, carrying two mortgages in what is close to an all-time low market, with very few scars.  Best of all, we got through it.  I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am that we’re not still trying to sell that house.
• I get to write.  That’s what I do.  Last night I sat down and hammered out another short of about 5,000 words, one that’s been yammering away inside my head for a very long time.  Every day, I get to write.  That’s an awesome blessing.
• At the time of this posting, all my friends and loved ones are in health.  This has been a year of cancer in some cases, surgery in others, and one challenge or another in most camps.  But right now, everyone’s healthy or on the mend.  That’s pretty awesome!

Okay, that’s it for Thanksgiving thoughts.  Hope you guys have a great weekend and travel safe!
