A Short List

Of things I'm thankful for. In no particular order and by no means exhaustive:

Cats that sit in your lap and purr.
Dogs that lick your face and always look So! Happy! To see! You!
Good video games.
Good board games.
Good board games that get adapted to be good video games.

The miracle of human flight.
Comedians who remind you to appreciate the miracle of human flight.
Holidays.

Vacations.
Staycations.
Visiting friends who're thousands of miles away.
People who like the things you do and say it.

Doing interesting projects at work.
Good food.
Crappy food that tastes good anyway.

People who understand you and inexplicably still put up with you anyway.
All of you, actually. ♥

There's lots more, but I'll leave it at this. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
