Happy Thanksgiving!

Here's some random thanks as I wake up this morning. There may be

more after I stuff myself with food:

I'm thankful that I finally have my own residency. I still find it

amazing how some of the best things in my life have just fallen into

my lap.

Thanks to everyone who blogs interesting stuff daily for me to read as

I look for work.

Thanks to Piro for MegaTokyo

for giving me something fun to read a few times a week.

I'm thankful for late night infomercials that keep me endlessly amused

when I can't sleep late at night. I still wonder how those people do

it without just bursting out in laughter.

I'm thankful for my parents. Even as an adult they seem to go way out

of their way for me. I don't know what I'd do without them.

I'm thankful for family in general. I'm getting to spend Thanksgiving

with my cousins, who I don't get to see often enough despite their

living less than an hour away.

I'm thankful for my friends. Too many to mention individually for

fear of leaving anyone out.

I'm thankful for my life. I'm still struggling along, still alive,

despite everything going on.
