Happy Thanksgiving to All

Once again, we've arrived at the time of year that we give thanks for the many good things in our lives. Sometimes that can be difficult. But even if it seems as if the entire sky is raining down on you, there are things for which to be thankful.

This summer has been a tough one. My new guitarist has been dealing with some serious health issues. I had a cancer scare of my own. And there are some things in my personal life that could have gone a little better, to say the least. And yet, I'm still thankful.

I'm thankful I found a guitarist and drummer who are both excellent and a lot of fun to work with.

I'm thankful I still have a job.

I'm thankful I don't have cancer.

I'm thankful that I'll be spending the next several months working on a new CD.

I'm thankful that I have a roof over my head.

I'm thankful I have enough to eat.

I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to do the work I love.

I'm thankful my family is healthy.

I'm thankful for the lessons. And for the fact they didn't take even longer to learn!

I'm thankful that anyone reads this blog . . . and that some get something positive from it.

I'm thankful for my friends.

I'm thankful that I have another chance to do better.

So. What's your list? I hope you'll take time between the feast and the football games to sit and consider all the things in your life for which you should be thankful.

My best to all of you.

And Happy Thanksgiving.
