I am thankful for life, because without it I wouldn't be able to lie in bed at night and imagine the unthinkable.
I am thankful for animals, for without them I or nobody else would have either food or wonderful companions.
I am thankful for religion, for without it I would truly be lost.
I am thankful for family, for without them the world would be very lonely.
I am thankful for music, because the world would be missing a key and I'd have nothing to be passionate about.
I am thankful for art, because without it the world would be incredibly dull.
I am thankful for memories, for without them I could survive everyday life.
I am thankful for my friends, for without them I could never manage staying up until five in the morning, laughing until it hurt.
I am thankful for the written word, for without it we couldn't escape into seperate realities and into the vast imaginations and thoughts of others.
I am thankful for my teachers, because if it wasn't for them, I couldn't type this very sentence.
I am thankful for my irish ancestors, because without them, I couldn't be living in so grand a country.
I might as well say I am thankful for everything, for all of the things I previously listed make up my world.
Happy Thanksgiving.
