I'm thankful to have friends and family who care very much about me.
I am thankful to live in a free country.
I am thankful that my family and I are in good health (partially...for me, anyway)
I am thankful for my cousins who are 3 years old and 6 months old, who are the cutest and sweetest things ever-- even though I don't see them often because they live 5 hours away!
I am thankful for the education I was able to receive despite my disability.
I am thankful to be able to live in a safe house, go on vacations, have a car, have a computer, a TV, a bed, food, clothing...etc. (little things that many people don't have.)
*Side story
We had a new dishwasher put in 2 days ago. The guy who was putting it in got a phone call to which he replied "omg! ****...k, call you soon." He got off the phone and (trying his best not to break down) He told us that his 6 year old niece was in the hospital for 35 days due to swine flu. She went into surgery so they could get the fluid out of her lungs and she passed away during surgery. He went outside, took a few minutes to himself and finished installing the dishwasher. As my mom was writing the check, he sighed and said "I have nothing to be thankful for..." My mom just said "I'm sorry, I can only imagine how difficult it is."
I felt bad for him and stuff but it sure was an awkward situation...what did he want us to say when he said he had nothing to be thankful for? I guess it was more like a personal type vent where he just needed someone to hear him express his concern.
