The Top Ten Things I'm Thankful For

  1. Family - without them, i would not be alive, though the obligations that come with family sometimes make having a family tedious (attempt at a joke)
  2. Being literate - I am able to learn and express myself
  3. Technology - "convenience is cey"
  4. Humanity's ability to converse - (though being literate is a branch of this, verbal language is what is meant) without it, humanity would make no progress as a species and be nothing more than another animal
  5. Music - without it, life would be somewhat emptier (that is to say that music's impact on us is difficult to express in words, though it seems so simple)
  6. Glasses - my visual connection to this world is cloudy no longer
  7. Groups (of people) - things are done, missions accomplished, progress made
  8. Conservationists - they postpone the inevitable "self destruction" of the world
  9. Agriculture - humanity would never have evolved from nomads to lazier peoples without it (this lazyness allowing for more time to think and do more important things)
  10. Medicine/Antiseptics - humankind will survive longer/the ability to make progress easier was a result of soap (death is prominent without cleanliness; progress can only be made if whatever the parent did with their life is continued after their death by their children)
