<title>Happy Holidays and Thanks</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Good morning all,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know it's the holiday season, and not thanksgiving, but this is a time for family and friends and so I would like to take the time to give thanks for the serious and the irreverent in my life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like to&amp;nbsp;give thanks for&amp;nbsp;my mom, she's still a rock.&amp;nbsp; And after a lovely afternoon yesterday I'm reminded again of the kind of parent and person that&amp;nbsp;I want to be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like to give thanks&amp;nbsp;for my significant other, she's a saint, and she continues to stand beside me through some ups, some downs and some in betweens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks also needs to be given for my friends that have stayed in touch from Ottawa since my move, my friends in Peterborough that still send messages to say hi, and my friends all over the rest of the country that are there when I need them and when it's just to chat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for my job, sure it's not fantastic all the time, but I'm not unemployed and the rent is paid.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for mouse traps, they give me a chance to sleep at night.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for Advent calanders and the chocolate that comes in them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for digital cable and 24 hour sports coverage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for my BlackBerry and how it keeps me connected at all times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for my metabolism.&amp;nbsp; I don't eat well but the calories I get keep me going with the same waist line.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for the TTC and my pass that lets me get on the bus, street car and subway without hassle everyday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for professional sports because it gives me something bigger than myself to be interested in and care about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for world of constant political change, again it gives me something to read, care about, talk about and wonder what the world will be like because of it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks for comic books, comic book tv shows, comic book movies and graphic novels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to give thanks to the Big Guy, who keeps looking out for me and the ones I love.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And finally I'd like to give thanks for the internet, that gives me a voice and a place to rant even if I don't deserve it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers and&amp;nbsp;Happy Holidays,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
