As we approach this holiday season, what are you thankful for?

I am thankful for being a boomer. I can see we boomers grew and worked through the best time this wonderful country will likely ever know. While in the last of the agricultural boom, the second phase of the mechanical manufacturing (where we actually had to know the math, metals and processes) and the beginning of the computerized industrial processes. I am thankful for being taught to question everything (even though I started a little late.).I am thankful that we had a time of peace where we (at least where I was) could walk for miles without worry day or night. I am thankful for the wonderful woman I was so very fortunate to marry (truly my better half, I converse with her about everything). And I am thankful we had and still have the best bands.😃

Tell us what you're grateful for this holiday season, and your answer could appear on Patch!
