I am thankful for good, challenging work to do and the learning curve that comes with it. I am thankful for a group of crazy writers who are companions in word-smithing. I am thankful for whoever is responsible for the cotton that somehow made it from a field into a factory into a sweater into my hands onto my body on a cold day like this. And I am thankful for my wife, who folded it and put it away yesterday on the shelves she installed in our bedroom.
