What I'm Thankful For...

Some people are doing this social media thing where every day in November up til Thanksgiving Day, listing off things they are thankful for. I do not have the patience, nor the memory to keep doing that every day for 28 days. So lets just do it here and be done with it.

What I'm thankful for:
1-My family and friends.
2-Creativity in any form.
3-Animals. All of them. Except insects.
4-My wife.
5-My wife, (she deserves two mentions)
6-Books, films, good TV.
7-Music. The good stuff. Thank you, artists!
8-Good Memories evoked by places, songs, smells and objects.
9-The female form. Sculpted by the greatest artists in history.
10-Coca-Cola. the colder, the better.
11-Not having to work a job I hate, to buy shit I don't need.
12-My children and their progress.
13-Baggy clothes that hide my super gut. (at least I think they do)
14-Iphones. Holy shit are they the balls.
15-Football. Close games. Win or lose, its fun to watch.
16-This list.
17-The people who follow my work and enjoy it. I can't do it without you.

22-Quiet time. Its so rare when I get it. But when I do, I just sit for five minutes, taking it in.
23-Technology, getting me to things I remember, things I would learn and things I need to have NOW!
24-Toy stores. They are fucking rad.
25-The Beatles. They deserve their own mention.
26-A nice breeze on a hot day.
27-Great places in the world I dream of travelling to someday.
