Thankful Anyway

Well, gratitude is good no matter what day it happens on. Though 9/11 is one of the worse days for it.

• Still, the terrorist attacks 14 years ago gave me an opportunity to take a cheap flight to Ohio for my first OVFF. So there's that.
• I'm also grateful for my family. I'm not saying they keep me sane, but they do keep the craziness from getting completely self-destructive.
• My cane deserves a mention. Even when my back and knees are almost recovered, it helps. If only to give me something to lean on if I have to stand up, and a seat on the bus so I don't have to stand on something that's moving.
• And of course continuing employment, along with an increase in productivity.
• And finally, fervent thanks that things are not as bad as they could be.
