Once I get past the turkey, it’s wonderful.<\/p>\n

Since I rarely ponder my blessings at other times I shall list a few now in no particular order:<\/p>\n

\"Cout-blessings-sized\"<\/a>1) A wife that puts up with me 90-percent of the time. The other 10-percent I try to forget because it’s usually my fault. Mostly. Sort of. Once in a while. Occasionally.<\/p>\n

2) I have a job I actually like and some very talented people who make me look good. There are a few lazy ones but all-in-all I’m a lucky guy.<\/p>\n

3) I’m still waking up very day. At my age some would say I’m beating the odds.<\/p>\n

4) The wife’s girlfriends who freely hand out hugs when they see me. A few don’t – their loss.<\/p>\n

5) A couple of long-time friends. We may see each other only occasionally but we are there for each other no matter what or how long it’s been.<\/p>\n

6) A sister who has been married for something like 50+ years to a great guy. They are the most special, decent\u00a0people you could ever meet.<\/p>\n

7) A dog who was (is) my best friend for almost 16 years. I’m still very sad she died but more happy that we had each other for a long time.<\/p>\n

8) I recovered successfully from a few really stupid things I did in my youth thanks to some understanding people who gave me a break.<\/p>\n

9) I never lost my curiosity.<\/p>\n

10) Football today.<\/p>\n

There’s more but I need a nap.<\/p>\n

Count your own important stuff.
\nI’m sure there’s a lot.<\/p>\n
