Being Thankful I choose not to look upon the fact that I am healthy, have food in my refrigerator, and have clean water to drink as given. They are not given to so many people in our world. The fact that I am safe and (relatively) sane is not a given. That I was born into a family who loves me and into a country not ravaged by war is not a given. It is impossible to name all of the circumstances in my life I've taken for granted. All of the basic needs I've had met, all of the friendships and job opportunities and financial blessings, and the list, truly, is endless. The fact that I am breathing is a miracle, one I too rarely stop to appreciate. I'm stopping, right now, to be grateful for everything I am and everything I've been given. I'm stopping, right now, to be grateful for every pleasure and every pain that has contributed to the me who sits here and writes these words. I am thankful for my life. This moment is a blessing. Each breath is a gift. That I've been able to take so much for granted is a gift, too. But it's not how I want to live—not when gratitude is an option, not when wonder and awe are choices. I choose gratitude. I choose wonder. I choose awe. I choose everything that suggests I'm opening myself to the miraculous reality of simply being alive for one moment more Happy Thanksgiving to you All. **Photo Taken By Me *Archive  "Men need to hunt.
