A time for thanks

It has been said that life is 10% what happens to us, and 90% how we choose to react to what happens to us.

It’s easy to wallow in crapulence. It’s also easy to count our blessings.

It’s better to focus on the good things in our lives, than to renumerate the misery.

I find for everything that clogs my mind with negativity, there are more things to feel grateful about.

I’m thankful for my humidifier that keeps my bedroom at between 45 and 60% humidity, making it easy to breathe through the night.

I’m thankful for my Navage nasal irrigation

system. It has also made it easier to breathe and get through the COVID/flu season.

I’m thankful for finding this product called “Balance of Nature”, which guarantees me 10 servings of fruits and vegetables every day in six pills.

It really has made a difference in my energy and appears to have helped my overall digestive system.

I’m thankful for my parents’ survival into their late 80s and my ability to see them this year.

Even though my dad is nearing the end, he is surrounded by 24-hour inhome health care and able to stay at his house overlooking another Diamond Head sunset.

I’m grateful for my wife, who has been my best friend and stuck with me for 37 years.

I’m grateful for my cat, who has been the best companion and keeps my yard vermin free.

I’m thankful for our local newspaper the Antelope Valley Press, for hanging in there and doing the best keeping us informed about our local community.

And I’m thankful, grateful and blessed for my friends, who make me laugh and keep me inspired.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
