Happy Thanksgiving.

No? Of course, more so for me than almost any man on this planet. Bad ticker, legal issues, too much work too little energy, medicine issues, troubles and worries and health issues abound. And? I really shouldn't even be alive. If my notions regarding my birth mother are true, she tried to poison me before I was born. All along the way either incidents or accidents have piled up, many of which could, some of which should, have been fatal. I have seen things most men will never live to tell the tale regarding. Further, while often a bit too tired to do things even on the right meds and a sustainable dose, I get around just fine often. I have friends and family. I live in an area where I am a vast minority and do just fine. I am buying a home, planning a future, looking for a woman, joining with other men to do good. I have a reasonable living and lifestyle, that in spite of not being able to work.

I have much to be thankful for. And I am. Ignore the grumblings. Generally they are nothing more than the guy pushing his limits in straight weights. He is going to have to know some pain to lift even more. It is the way of things. And, while not completely satisfied with what I have attained, I am still working in spite of having doctors be impressed with my appearance and what I can do. It is good. Could it be better? On this planet, it could always be better. In this plane of existence, at this time, nothing works well or for long. Everything was made to fail, including us. This leaves us with a choice. We can either grieve the loss of perfection or cherish the humble work left to us in order to carry on a humble life. I choose the latter. I have explained the grumbling.

May your meal be humble, pleasant, and easy, or grand and various, as you wish. I hope you have a few calls come in or go out, or many people to see. Among strangers or long time friends and family, I truly hope you enjoy what you have. Remember, you still have breath to you. Use it wisely while it lasts. Again, Happy Thanksgiving. Turkey. :p
