This is cliche', but...

What I am thankful for:

I am thankful for my laptop, without which I would have either lost my mind or said “screw this” and gone home months ago.

I am thankful that, except for the pinworms, a mild case of giardia, and the mysterious open sores that would not heal, the last time I got badly sick was in April.

I am thankful that in the few dozen times I’ve biked from Kandal to Phnom Pehn, and vice-versa, I’ve never gotten into a major traffic accident. Only minor ones.

I am thankful for karma, which ensures that the person who stole my bike will eventually get what’s coming to them.

I’m thankful I finally know exactly what I’m going to do when I get out of Peace Corps.

And of course for family, friends, all that sappy stuff.
