You had me until the gravy part.  Man cannot exist without biscuits and gravy

At this time of year, I like to remind myself of the infinite number of 
things I have to be thankful for, including:

1)  Being alive - not just physically, but mentally, emotionally and 
spiritually - life is precious, and I thank God for my time on this earth.

2)  Being able to walk, and - despite the temporary aches and pains, 
being able to walk a goodly, long way! :)

3)  My family - despite all the ruts we get into with those closest to 
us, without them, we would be greatly diminished . . .

4)  All the great folk here in NC who have purchased NC Special AT 
license tags - we have now raised over $20,000, with more guaranteed 
every three months for as long as (I reckon) NC is a state in the Union 
- I know there are many ways to define oneself, but for me this project 
is something I hope to recall and smile about right up to the end of my 
days - and thanks to all the AT-Lrs, most of whom I have never met in 
person, who helped egg me on, who helped spark the idea in the first 
place, who gave me a forum in which to direct my energies, who helped 
spread the word and get the critical first 300 tags sold, and who have 
given me such positive support afterwards, too . . . know this, from all 
points of view, we can, and often (sometimes in spite of ourselves) do 
very good things, one step at a time . . .

5)  The Trail . . . in all senses of that magical term . . .

6)  For all who serve in the military, who - in perhaps the greatest 
lesson of Vietnam, more of us have come to realize that we can always 
separate our politics from our support for the men and women who lay it 
on the line, no matter where or what for . . . "Thanks for Your Service!"

7)  For all who serve in so many other ways, from the quiet love of a 
church adopting a homeless family victimized by Katrina, to those who 
serve as police and fire and emergency medical, to the goodly people in 
the healing arts - especially all the nurses, nurses aids, candy 
stripers, volunteers and hospice care angels - what would we do without 
those who find a way to give of themselves???

Anyhow, Thankgiving is on my mind tonight - so thanks to all and to all 
a good night! :)
