Thanks for Giving
It's almost upon us.
A time to give thanks.
I will go ahead and give mine today.
I am most thankful for having such a great group of friends. Both in real life (as they say) and via the internet. (which to me is very real as well.)
Friends are hard to come by. Good friends that is. I never realized this growing up, it seemed as though I had more friends than I could shake a stick at. (some, I'm sure I did, in a friendly sorta way) But as time goes by and everyone grows up, we started to grow apart. Mostly due to starting familes, and careers, or telling Booger jokes. And then one day it hits you. Or it did me, Hey where the heck did everybody go?
Well. I don't know. I'm getting off base here.
I have been lucky enough to find some really great friends who wouldn't hesitate to give you the shirt off their back.
And for that, I am truly thankful.
Also, I am thankful for being surrounded on a daily basis by two very good looking young boys. My boys. They have kept me grounded and focused through times of uncertainty. I never would have thought that they could have such a positive impact on my mental and pyshical health. So, a many BIG thanks to those two rascals.
I am of course thankful as well for many other things. And I've seen a list of 50 things about yourself some have posted, and I'm turning that into 50 things I'm thankful for.

Thank you - for being you!! And for all the entertainment you've provided - you make me laugh! Which is the best thing a friend can do, IMO! :)
neo...beer and cheesecake? Not together, I hope. While both are very very good...I don't know that together is best...
You've never had beer flavored cheesecake? You're missing out Susan.
Fish! *hughug* You be da man.
