Today I give thanks for:

• Roof over my head
• Shoes on my feet
• musical talent
• Family and Friends that love me and put up with my crap.
• Gainful employment
• Food and additional forms of nourishment
• Modern conveniences like running water, sewage management systems and electricity
• Living in a part of the world that is relatively safe in which I don’t have to worry about soldiers/guerrillas/thugs coming into my village and blowing it up after killing everyone inside.
• And especially for Meike, who I love very much. She has helped me in more ways than I could ever possibly thank her for. But I won’t stop trying. SchmmmmMMMMATZ!!
