I have reason to be grateful
by: The-Muffin-Man

Ladies and gentlemen, I am loving life. It sounds cheesy and way too optimistic, but I really don't give a damn what it sounds like because I mean it. So, for partly theraputic reasons and partly just because I feel like it, I am going to ask the question: what are you thankful for? It sounds like Thanksgiving, I know. But once a year isn't enough, because if we forget what makes our lives worthwhile, why bother living?

In no partictular order...
