I am most eternally thankful to have found my soulmate,
I am thankful for my continued good health. As my mother often reminds me, without health we have nothing.
I am thankful for my job. I have a great, easy-going boss and an enjoyable job (web development for UCSF) which pays well, is normally low-stress, and an easy commute from my current apartment.
I am thankful for my home. For all I have complained about it, our apartment has a reasonable rent (for SF), decent amenities, and is in a good location for us.
I am thankful for my family. For all of our differences in philosophy, we still get along reasonably well. I am thankful that they are in good health.
I am thankful for my friends. No person is an island, and it takes a particularly patient person to put up with my quirks.
I am thankful for my adopted city of San Francisco. Here I can feel free to be myself, to express and act on my radical views, to nourish my body and soul with the produce of the Earth.
If you are taking a moment during your holiday weekend to read this entry, perhaps you could leave a note saying what you are most thankful for.
