So Much to Be Thankful For

 I'm thankful for many things this year.

 I'm thankful that the television shows are so awful.  I saved a bundle when I canceled my cable.

I'm thankful that I'm a few pounds overweight. I can turn the heat down and my blubber keeps me warm.  Also, if we have a food shortage, I'll be the last to starve.

I'm thankful that my hairdresser never sees how my hair looks when I fix it myself.

I'm thankful that I live in a country where everyone can freely and openly express his or her opinion.

I'm thankful that the elections are over and I don't have to listen to every yahoo in the USA express his or her opinion on a daily  basis for another four years.

I'm thankful that my facial hair is less noticable now that it's turning grey.

I'm thankful that I've lived long enough for my facial hair to turn grey.

I'm thankful that I still have one of my parents and all of my siblings.

I'm thankful that my siblings and I no longer make long trips in the back seat of the family car, punching one another the whole way.  My parent is thankful, too.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to have a good old American Thanksgiving dinner.

I'm thankful that I only have to cook a Thanksgiving dinner once a year.

I'm thankful that my turkey stuffing comes out just like Mom's.

I'm thankful for the opportunity to publish my little ditties.

And lastly - I'm thankful for you, who faithfully read this all the way to the end!

Mary Schwester will be enjoying a week of turkey leftovers at her home in W------.
