    I'm grateful for many things. Small and Large.

    It would be a long list but I guess I'd start with my wife and my parents and the fact I was lucky enough to be born and live in a country as good as the USA.

    Is it me or do these "little" things people mention seem to be enormous things? My little thing is a good night's sleep when it does happen.

    I am grateful for two things.

    1. My wife of almost 29 years, who has been by me through hell and back.

    2. I am thankful for my health even though it is not good but it is better than many of my brethren who lost all sorts of things and body parts in the sand while I had a much easier job here at home...

    3. I am thanks for my furbabies......well that's 3 things......

    Pure and simply for my life. Every day it is good to be alive no matter what it brings. I developed this attitude at 20 years old. On patrol one day I stepped on booby trapped 175mm howitzer round and only the blasting cap went off. I ended up with a scorched boot and no injuries. Every single day since then has been gravy. God watches over, fools, drunks, and Marines.

    I suspect he's correct, my life would have been much different if I had been born in a third world country as well............Rod.

    Every day I see the turmoil, poverty and ignorance that exists in the rest of the third world and thank god that i got to live and grow up in North America. Even though this continent has its faults the majority of decisions make for a stable entity politically and monetarily. So for this I am thankful. And that my 2 children get to live and work her also.
