Default giving thanks!

i've noticed that alot of my post have been negative lately.. i am frustrated and angry with society and the path they have chosen..
but i seem to forget all that is good in this world.. i know that most of you here are not very religious, but my life has lead my to God. i've had ups and downs but since returning to my faith... i've been blessed! i have my health, a job that puts food on the table and have my fiance... i am a blessed man.

i have seen the good that people can do. i've seen volunteers rebuild stormed damaged homes.. i've seen people join together to fight the corruption of our leders. i've seen people replant feilds of trees, and i've seen people give more of themselves than is humanly possible. i have been blessed.

i been atop of snow coverd mountains in colorado and seen the beauty of this world. i have swam in mountain lakes in the adirondack's and seen the rising sun bringing a new day over the vastness of the ocean. i have awaken to the sounds of nature and the smell of pine trees in cooksforest, and i have slept under the stars miles away from anything with my faithfull companion, my dog, at my side... my God am i a blessed man!

so yes there is a fight worthy of fighting, and lord knows i'll keep on fighting it.. but i can't say that the world is all bad, i can't say we are doomed... all i can say is that we are lost.. we've been led astray...
one foot a head of the other... "second star to the right, and straight on till morning.."
