I have a really terrific life - no doubt about it. I try to let the people involved in it know just how thankful I am for their contributions to it and I hope they realize how much they all mean to me.

I'm thankful to have a job that I absolutely adore. I mean I literally wake up in the morning excited to go to work. I just figured that would never happen because what you are taught growing up is that you work to make money to spend in the time you are not working. I work because I want to and because it makes me happy and a positive benefit is that it helps me be able to survive when I'm not fortunate enough to be at work. I am thankful that I am able to spend five days a week with the most imaginative, thoughtful, intelligent, and genuine people I have ever met.

I'm thankful that I have a family that I love a great deal and a couple friends who mean the world to me.

I'm thankful that I had people in my life who never gave up on me and I am thankful that I'm the type of person now who doesn't give up on others.

I'm thankful that I know what brings me joy and I try to attain it and I know what does not bring me joy and I (mostly) succeed in avoiding it.

I'm thankful to everyone who has ever read anything I wrote or listened to any music I have made - it encourages me to keep writing and creating.

I'm thankful that I'm not perfect but even more thankful that I have the ability and tools to try to constantly better myself.

I'm just thankful for life.

Thank you all for being a part of mine.
