Be Thankful For What You Have Now

Do not spoil what you have

by desiring what you have not;

remember that what you now have

was once among the things you only hoped for.

― Epicurus

Have a question I like to ask.

Never stay around for the answer.

Don’t give a shit really.

The answer is yours.

Somebody asked you

when you were seventeen,

would you be happy with this?

You here now.

Would you be happy?

Somebody asked you

when you were fifty,

would you be happy with this?

You here now.

Would you be happy?

When I was seventeen,

me this today,

can’t say

I wouldn’t have wanted

more.  More.

When I was fifty?

Yeah, sure, no problem.

Happy about who I am.

Lucky.  Blessed.  Grateful.

Whatever the age,

Happy Thanksgiving

to you.
