Sometimes there are two sides to our thanks. I am thankful that Hillary is not president. To my surprise, I am thankful that Trump is.
I am thankful for a room in which I can’t hear the sound of a television.
I am thankful that the aches and pains I feel are all due to getting old and are within the range of annoying rather than crippling.
I am thankful that, as of yesterday, my children are still speaking to me. And of course I am glad I still want them to speak to me.
I am thankful that so far I have seen the scorpions before they have seen me.
I am thankful that I have everything I need even if I don’t have everything I want. And I am thankful that I know the difference.
The list could go on but you have family, friends and chores.
Happy Thanksgiving and may your list be long enough to bore others.

You KNOW that I had to laugh at the Trump part! My list wouldn't be much different than yours,and like yours, it would be much abbreviated. We are SO blessed! Happy thanksgiving, Pumice.
