So much to be thankful for

I have been thinking about this post for a while - how thankful I am for my beautiful and solid bike, which takes me wherever I want to go. I'm thankful for the clever shed my landlord has given me for parking, and the spacious and ideal parking shed they've installed at my office.

I had more I wanted to be thankful for here, but I can't really remember now. My dad was in a bad crash on Tuesday night, he's ok and his passenger is going to be ok. That's all I can think about now, and I'm so very thankful they survived. Internet world, would you spare a moment for a [wish/prayer] for Jim's full recovery? He has all my thoughts.

Please go hug your family and tell them how much you love them.

Have a happy Thanksgiving.

EDITED TO ADD: Jim is going to be ok, thank you all so much for your good wishes.

I check your blog regularly from London UK. I just wanted to send my best wishes to your father and his passenger. I hope they make a full recovery very soon.

I'm glad your dad and his passenger weren't badly hurt and I hope they have a quick and full recovery. Your post is a great reminder of how important it is to be thankful for the people who matter to us while we still have them.
