What are you thankful for? [View all]

Like most (all?) of you this Thanksgiving is a bit tough for me.

If President Harris was taking the oath of office on Jan 20 I would have so much more to be thankful for. Instead, I feel like disaster is approaching, a disaster that will hit us all on Jan 20.

Yes I have my loved ones, a roof over my head, & a good business, but I cannot shake the sense of dread, of fear, over what might come to pass in the next four years. Not just for myself but especially for all the vulnerable folks who will be subjected to more hate & discrimination.

I am thankful for my wonderful wife, my dear friends, a house that's paid for, all my customers who keep calling me back & telling me I'm the best, my relatively good health (I can't complain but sometimes I still do), & my music which has given me solace & helped me find peace since I first started playing as a pre-teen.

What are you thankful for?

I think it might help us all if we shared what we're thankful for today.
