Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered here today to be thankful. In fact, we've reserved an entire day to be thankful for things we're thankful for each and every day but are just too busy to realize. Here is an incomplete list of things and people I'm thankful for:

Dad, Mom, Sister, Bro-In-Law, Baby Nephew. Friends who believe in me. People I always find myself coming back to. Friends who won't let me be somebody I'm not. A good job, and a good car to drive there. A nice place to live. Good food to eat. Clean Minnesota air to breathe. Music. A nice guitar. An iPod with a lot of good songs on it. My health. The strength and ability to do, really, whatever I want. Living in a truly great country. A headful of many truly great memories and few other ones.

Thank you.
