1. I am alive today. I know this seem basic but I truly mean it. I have been through a lot in my life and I am still here. I have faced that choice to end my life on my own terms before and I have, happily, walked away. I am beyond grateful for family and friends.

2. I have a job. While it causes me much stress and headache, I have a job in this economy. I can pay my bills and feed my family. My wife does not work and I have to be the solo provider for the family. I am very thankful for the opportunity I have.

3. Gaming. I have a passion for games. I love the medium and continue to look forward to the changes coming to the community. Games have been a distraction from bad times and a way to socialize with new people. They have been my hobby but instead of Golf or cars I have video games. Games have been a big part of my life and I can’t wait to play more!
