Well, I can still make one more #GiveThanks post, and I give thanks that I made it to the end of another year.
I'm thankful that, in spite of all the bad things that came about (and not just in 2020), I haven't been broken.
I may be down, but I'm not out.
I may have been hurt and humiliated, but I have not been defeated.
I've still got my life to live, and it's worth the living.
Today, I #GiveThanks for thoughtful customers. Even on a crazy busy day, when you're up to your neck in work and down to your last nerve, an extra special customer comes by in the nick of time. And this particular customer was nice enough to bring me and my other coworkers a little handmade Christmas present. Isn't that sweet?
Today, I #GiveThanks for modern medicine. Thank goodness we live in an age of advanced technology, educated doctors and nurses, and procedures are a lot safer than they were in the old days! Furthermore, in this age of COVID-19, doctors are among the true heroes.
Today, I #GiveThanks for a day of rest. I know some Sunday work is required, but there's something to be said about taking a break...a whole day dedicated to simply recuperate while still doing good works.
Today, I #GiveThanks for warm showers. Just like naps, a hot shower can do wonders for you when you're tired, sore, stiff, and stressed, and I'm especially grateful for heated water and indoor plumbing. Imagine having to boil water or soak in a spring if you wanted a hot bath.

A very happy birthday to my mom, Carolyn Dahl Mather. Hope you had a great day, Mom. We all love you and appreciate you more than words can ...
