I could do the “I’m Thankful” blog, but how many people have done that today? I’m pretty sure my thankfulness gets spread out throughout the year.
- · On the birthdays of my life’s important people, I am thankful that they were born (and that their parents met).
- · On my birthday, I’m thankful that I was born.
- · On my parents’ wedding anniversary, I am thankful they got married.
- · On Veteran’s Day, I’m thankful for the veterans.
- · On Labor Day, I’m thankful for the laborers.
- · On beautiful summer days I am thankful for the Earth, oxygen, oceans, and weather patterns.
- · On Sunday nights after 9pm, I’m thankful that zombies do not exist.
- · When I get a head cold, I’m thankful for my general good health.
- · When it’s frigidly cold outside, I’m thankful for this house and the wood-stove.
- · And, almost every day, I consciously am thankful for the discovery and then manufacturing of insulin on top of all the technological advancements in diabetes care since 1921. Without that, well, I wouldn’t be writing this right now.
Fun fact: one of my greatest worries about a zombie apocalypse is that I’d run out of insulin, and then be useless to whatever other survivors are around. I know, I know, zombies are not real.
Fun fact #2: I have a tattoo of an insulin molecule. That’s how much I like insulin.
Oh look, I did it, I wrote about what I’m thankful for. How about you?
