I’m thankful for where I live — both my lovely home, my beautiful state, and my nation.<\/p>\n
I’m thankful for my friends, here and far, for putting up with me (if nothing else).<\/p>\n
I’m thankful for my family, by blood and by marriage. A great group of people.<\/p>\n
I’m thankful for my job, since, as much as I bitch about it, it’s really a great job and makes my life a lot easier than it would be otherwise.<\/p>\n
I’m thankful for my daughter, who make me burst with pride and love every day.<\/p>\n
I’m thankful for my wife, who makes all of the above even spiffier, and my life even brighter than I could have imagined.<\/p>\n
Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
