My column for Nowonder on a very nice day.
It's the month we set aside a day to be thankful. A day doesn't seem long enough, it should be a week, or all month or we could just be thankful every day...
Of all the things in life over which we have no control where and when we are born is the big one. If you've seen the movie Men In Black 3 you know my favorite character, the little guy who could see the outcome of various realities.
This makes sense to me. A small thing can have monumental consequences, so you're being thankful for the choice you made.or wishing things had turned out differently.
To steal from the Lennon/Cartney songbook from In My Life "there are places I remember some have gone and some remain" the places I have been and the people who were meant to come into my life, "some are dead and some are living, in my life I've loved them all".
The sad thing about aging is that the ones you love do too...but I have made so many friends that have entered my life to be grateful for it makes me happy to think about the times we shared.
I am thankful for the life I am living after all the years, going on 39 in North Iowa, my family and friends and the association with the people I have worked along side and for, and being able in a way to keep in contact with a number of you.
I will do my best to be thankful for what I have every day.
Have a good month, check with you in Distemper...61 days to 2017.
