Today is Christmas day, the most important day of the year. The first six hours of this day I am working but the rest of the day and the following 4 days I am off. It is one of the few days of the year where I drink alcohol. I have saved some nice whiskey for when I get home. I will watch TV and be merry.
Today I will be more thankful than normal. I am thankful for life and all the good things that come with it. I am thankful that I am not afflicted with a terrible disease or illness. I am thankful for the creator for making everything. I am thankful that I am not forced by others to do violence. I am thankful for being able to read because reading books is so wonderful and there are so many wonderful books to read.
I have one wish for the year and that is to be rich, not because of greed but because I want to be free of worries and have time to do good deeds. I am not ashamed of wanting wealth because everyone wants it. There are so many things I want to do and so many things I want to accomplish and they all cost money.
If you have read this far then I am thankful to you because this is a part of history. History is not just about the big companies and people but all the people of the world and how they see the world around them and what happens in their lives.
