Well, I tried...
I tried to be cynical; I tried to be grumpy; I tried to be cranky.
I tried to go this year without doing a sappy, saccharine "Things I Am Thankful For" Thanksgiving entry.
Can't do it.
I have my own business; I am my own boss, creating my own destiny. My partner is cool, and we have good employees.
I have a wonderful wife whose only known flaw is leaving comments in my blog to the effect that I'm too cranky.
I don't lack for anything I need, and few things that I want (the Tesla Roadster comes to mind).
I have excellent friends, both here and in real life (some both  ).
I saw a Bruce Springsteen concert this year and expect I'll probably see one next year as well.
I have no kids.
I have a decent amount of leisure time.
I have a good computer with a high-speed internet connection.
I'm in good health.
Sure, I could wish for other things, but doing that just gives me something else to look forward to.
And if I get grumpy around the holidays, well, perversely, I take joy in that, too. It's FUN. I don't know what I'd do if I had nothing to complain about. Complain about that, I suppose. Paradox.
I love paradoxes.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone (even my grumpy British readers who should be glad the Puritans left).  |
