I have the best wife in the world. This is what I will dwell on tomorrow, as the rest of the year has been a disaster....36 year's old with some serious health problems....dying pets, other pets getting old and near their time....deaths in the family and close friends.....relatives ripping me and other family members off....lots of losses in the market......I could go on and on, but will stop. My reason for posting all this is so that others really appreciate what they have. 3 Years ago, I had so much more to be thankful for. I wish I could go back, but I can't. Tomorrow, i will be thankful for my wife and will dwell on the positive as much as I can, but for everybody else, please, give thanks while you can. time changes things, sometimes not for the better. I regret not being more thankful in the past because I didnt know how lucky i really was. Unfortunatly, I cannot go backwards, but maybe I can help others see just how many thingsthey have to be thankful for. be thankful now, while you can so their wont be regrets later. happy t-day to all....hope that wasnt too depressing....just want those that do have alot to be thankful for to realize it and not take it for granted, because not everybody is in such a position to be thankful for many things. best to all, keith
