I am thankful for my eyeglasses – for it means I can still see
I am thankful for lousy music – for it means I can still hear
I am thankful for screwing up – for it means I have a chance to learn
I am thankful for the pain in my joints and muscles – for it means I am still alive
I am thankful for the trials my parents are going through – for it means they are still with me
I am thankful for indigestion – for it means I ate last night
I am thankful for crummy days on the road – for it means I am employed
I am thankful for living in my truck - for it means I have a bed and a good roof over my head
I am thankful for heartache – for it means I have loved

No matter how dark things seem, no matter how long the night, the sun will shine again.

There are so many things to be thankful for everyday.
And I am thankful for every one of you.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!!
