Things I am thankful for

I am thankful for many this year. There is always the standard :family, job, friends, good will and peace. But I am going to stray from the norm and say what I am really really thankful for in my life. I know its cliche but I am thankful for the little things. Like watching a parade with my daughter and wife, the little pink ornaments on our Christmas tree and the love and affection of my cats. I am also very thankful for Internet piracy. I am super thankful that I can just think of something that I want to watch and instead of driving forty minutes to get to best buy and be told by all of my coworkers that I shouldn't be there when I am not working she can just download it and we can go and buy it at our convenience. Yes we are those people that download things and if we like them we go and purchase them. I do not feel the need to pay to rent it and then pay to purchase it. Its a waste of money at that point and I am tired of purchasing things that I will never watch again because they are awful. Critics are not trustworthy. I am thankful for peppermint mocha coffee mate creamer. I wake up every morning that I go to work and make myself coffee in my very expensive but free to me coffee maker and drown the brown liquid in creamer. Its delicious and tastes like Christmas. Every morning is Christmas morning then and it makes me happy. I am thankful for interior designing. I love to decorate and when I am not writing I am imaging how my house would look if I had disposable income. It would look amazing by the way and it would make Martha Stewart want to shell out money for my services. And finally I am thankful for my laptop for without this amazing device I would have to write my novel by hand and that just isn't happening if I can help it. I have tried that before and that is why I have quit in the past. At six years old I tried to write my first book as I was learning how to write. I did it all by hand and it was difficult. Those five pages front and back were the hardest thing I ever did. I was the only six year old with carpal tunnel syndrome. Thank goodness I didn't have to wear a brace, that would have been embarrassing. I hope everyone is thankful for all of the great things they have in their life and never take anything for granted. I am the last one to talk, even so I am more than willing to give out advice. Happy Thanksgiving everyone !
