Even over here, in the poor embattled dump that is this corner of Asia, I am am still a thankful man. I am thankful that thus far no one in my unit has been killed or injured. That I will be heading home soon. That my fiance, family and friends are so supportive of me while I am here.
I definitely am thankful for technology. I know that life would be far more stressful for me if it wasn't for email, VOIP (thanks Google for the free phone calls!!) and Skype (thanks to you for the free video calls!!). Being this far away from everything (and pretty much everyone) would have been far more depressing.
I am definitely thankful for Sandy, the local feral cat who has made my lonely night shift far more tolerable. She often wanders in, nudges my leg and falls asleep near me.
I have been lucky enough to be born in the best country in the world, have awesome parents, siblings and a beautiful Fiance. I really like my job (yep, even the Army one on occasion) and get paid well to do it. I truly am a lucky and thankful guy.
