Seven things I’m thankful for

Mark tagged me for this Meme, in the spirit of keeping chains alive, here it goes.

I don’t think I spend enough time being thankful. I’m lean more towards criticism and cynicism, because I’m always after improvement. Thus, I’m thankful for the opportunity to force me to think of this things I appreciate but give for granted.

• Family comes first. Starting from the small core of my wife and I. I have mentioned in the past how understanding Luciana is with me. Although many times she can’t quite get why I make some choices, she still stands there by me in support. Then there’s the larger family, my brothers and Mom, who are always a phone call apart and willing to help in case of need. This is a safety net that provides me with a lot of confidence.
• My job in the past months has provided me with the opportunity to push the envelope in ways I couldn’t of picture a year ago. I’m involved in some great projects with some great people. I guess this is two thanks in one: I’m thankful to those who provided me with the chance to do this (you know who you are!) and I’m thankful for what I do and who I do it with.
• I appreciate my own curiosity. I believe that if I weren’t always interested in learning more, in finding new and exiting thing, I wouldn’t stand where I am today. Curiosity and intellectual hunger are great drivers of achievement.
• My friends, who are always there, even when I don’t get enough chances to share a lot of time with them.
• If I didn’t have migraines every now and then my health would be just perfect. I never even catch a flue, and I don’t really take too much care of my own body, thus I get more than what I give in this regard.
• My upraising. Because even when there where some difficult times, I look back and feel happy about my past. I don’t think I regret a single thing, because even the mistakes I made helped me in the long run.
• Life itself. Because we have a white canvas where we can draw, where we can create an leave our mark. Because we can make a difference even if it only touches those close to us, and that is huge.

I won’t pass this; but rather leave it to whoever feels inspired to be thankful to write down its own list. What are you thankful for?
