"Be Thankful"

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."
- Oprah Winfrey

Thanksgiving may be past, the turkey consumed, and the family gone home, but we still have much to be thankful for. Sure, November 25 may be the day we celebrate it with those we love, but thanksgiving should really be a year long celebration. So, in retrospect, here are a few things I am most thankful for in 2005:

1. - Another calendar year of life.
2. - My faith and the rock it has been for me.
3. - A roof over my head. Food in my kitchen.
4. - A creative mind and the means to use it daily.
5. - People who care about me. People I care about.
6. - A summer and fall packed full of theatre.
7. - The ability to share my ups and downs with you on this blog.
8. - The plentiful opportunities to learn and grow.

Granted, this is just a partial list, but the meaning remains the same. Life is full of thanksgiving. And Opportunities surround us daily. Never forget the little things that define you. Sometimes they are far more important than we think.

Happy Thanksgiving!
