Stuff I Am Grateful For

2024-11-29

Today is Thanksgiving in the US and although the historical element of it is murky at best I treat it as a gratitude holiday. My personal tradition has been to make a certain set of food, see my family, and think about what I am grateful for. So I wanted to put it here as well.

Health

I do think mental and physical health is the most important thing and it will always be at the top of my list. I am also thankful for the health of my wife, my kids, my family, and my friends. So I am grateful I have health this year and will hopefully have it next year as well.

Friends and Family

Social connections are really important to me and I have such a good set of family and friends. I know I cannot pick my family but I have gotten pretty lucky and they are all loving and supportive. And I can pick my friends but I think I have also gotten lucky here and they are really a good group of people.

The ability to have another child

My wife and I were able to have another kid this year and I am super grateful for the opportunity. I am going to try to make the most of it.

My job

Lastly I am super happy with my job, I really like my coworkers and am well compensated and money gives me and my family the ability to live a comfortable life.

I am super grateful for my life, there is small stuff that could go better but overall it is wonderful.
