I am thankful I didn’t like it when I tried a cigarette when I was twelve years old. It made me gag and I have never smoked another. My dad lost a lung to cancer from smoking.

I am thankful I didn’t like the taste of alcohol when I tried it at 17. The rum and coke burned my throat and it tasted so bad that I did not even finish the drink. I have never been drunk, and I say that gratefully!

I am thankful I didn’t grow up in the time when drugs became so prevalent that everyone felt compelled to try them. I have never been high on anything except life!

I am thankful that I didn’t stay uneducated. After dropping out of college in the midst of the second semester of my freshman year, it took me over seven years to return to school. My degrees have opened a few doors, but best of all the education continues to this day!
