Yesterday, we lost a Shipmate in a tragic accident. I cannot mention details or circumstances surrounding the death, as the specifics have not yet been released in an official statement.
In the past 36 hours, I have grieved the sudden loss of a Shipmate and friend, and reminded myself of how privileged I am to be a part of so many people's lives.
Today, I celebrated Thanksgiving at sea with my shipmates and really thought about what it was I was thankful for. Simply put:
I am thankful for the gift of life, the ability to live it, and the people who fill it.
That includes you guys as well.
I hope I didn't put a damper on anyone's festive-mood. Losing a friend/family member or loved one is a challenge, but taking away something positive is something I've always challenged myself to do.
Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Sorry about your loss, for one. I know Internet condolences can seem silly, but I do honestly mean it.

This. We all have alot to be thankful for, not the least of which being that we're enjoying the vapor of life for one more year.

Thankful for life, and health.
It's hard to be hateful, when you're grateful.

I am thankful for all the cool people who have touched my life in some way over the years. Anyone who's ever donated a couch, spare room, bed, or floor for me to crash on. Anyone who's ever given me a reason to keep trying to play music, or liked a song of mine.
And even all you bastards that are still on this godforsaken forum.
Cheers.

Rollerball pens.
I'm thankful for those. Think about it. Quills and fountain pens? No thanks.
