Things I'm thankful for

On this Thanksgiving Day

I give thanks

FOR BEING ALIVE
for being able to breathe despite the air pollution,
for being able to survive despite the water pollution, pesticides and insecticides

FOR THOSE WHO HELPED ME SURVIVE

the doctors and nurses who pulled me through another operation

the friends and neighbours who rallied round me

the collaborators in all my schemes who keep me on my toes and leave me no time for self pity

FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES TO BE HUMAN
for challenges and problems
for moments of laughter
for periods of pleasure and moments of pain
for opportunities to make mistakes and learn from them

Happy Thanksgiving Day to you
wherever you are
