Early Birder Thread [krakatoa]
Time to smoke the turkey.
I wish I were more thankful today. Persevering through a flu bug that has completely detailed my original plans.
Nevertheless, despite the ick, I have much to be thankful for.
My loving wife who holds together the homestead far more than she should have to due to my work travel.
My amazing daughter who with a hug of her tiny arms can make me forget for precious moments the burdens of the job and of a society hellbent on finding new depths of inanity to call civilized.
My job, despite it's travel requirements. It is a job after all, and not a hobby. At the end of the day, providing for one's family is the ultimate measure of the designated breadwinner.
I know I have it better than most, and despite my general ambivalence of religion, I can't possibly claim to have made it purely on my own merits. Providence, luck, karma, whatever you want to call it, I am thankful for it.
