  I don't know about you all, but I've been out a long time, long enough to form some traditions. This time of the year I get reflective about what I'm thankful for in my life. Here's my list (by no means complete, in no special order, but what I can think of off the top of my head):

  1. My brother came out safe from his fire and only lost a few possessions
  2. That I have two brothers of my family of seven siblings that I can be close to and we can all love each other unconditionally outside the borg.
  3. That I have a partner that puts up with me!
  4. That I have two dogs and two cats that make me smile and laugh out loud every day.
  5. That I have a son that I'm good good friends with.
  6. That I have a roof over my head and food to eat.
  7. That I have transportation to where I need to go.
  8. That I have love in my life.
  9. That I have my spiritual base.
  10. That I have a job to pay my bills and a little extra.
  11. For my friends.
  12. For JWD and all you awesome posters here.
  13. That despite problems, there is still beauty in this earth.
  14. That there are still good, generous people.
