The seven things I am thankful for

1. My health: Health is something you take for granted - until you get ill. A year ago I had severe problems with my back. I am okay now (almost), and I am thankful every single day for it.

2. My friends - online and offline: "No man is an island" (John Donne) - and that's absolutely true. I am thankful every single day that I have dear friends who I can turn to when I need it, who listen and comfort me. And during the year 2008 I have met some very dear friends online too, from countries all over the world.

3. The possibilities of the Internet: To be able to "talk" with someone in Michigan, to be read by someone from Texas - I am thankful for that, too.

4. My job: It's a job which is challenging, where I have to learn new things on a daily basis. It is a job where I communicate with people of all sorts. I am thankful for the fact, that it is not only a job which earns my living, but also one I enjoy.

5. My creativity: I am thankful for the gift of creativity - writing, taking pictures, painting.

6. I am thankful to be able to live in Berlin, a fascinating city.

7. I am thankful for being able to enjoy all sorts of music, to enjoy the beauty of nature, the beautiy of a delicious meal and a good wine.
