My list reads a lot like Ray's.

I am thankful for those who I love, and who love me. I am especially thankful that nobody in my family has experienced any long term hospital stays this year. (Knock on wood.) That's a feat in and of itself.

I am thankful for those people who cannot be with their families because they are helping to protect the safety and well being of those of us who can.

I am thankful for the gift of music, and lots of good friends to share and talk about it with.

I am thankful for my job. You have no idea how important it is to me, and how it came about at just the right time when I desparately needed something like that to happen.

I am thankful that the future is full of promise and light.
