[Tango-L] I'm thankful

[TimmyTango@aol.com]

First and for most, I'm very thankful for my wife Joanne and her family that 
have taken me into their lives. Joanne is the best reason I keep going every 
day. I'm thankful for having good health, and that I don't need any artificial 
way of getting thru the day.  And that I still have the strength to go to work 
everyday.
Thank God for putting tango in my life to see how beautiful life can really 
be and the people in it. The joy and feelings I'm now able to feel and express 
with others. And after 9 years of teaching the tango, it's this year that I 
finally feel I'm now doing a decent job of translating tango to my students. 
How wonderful it is to say I have seen, danced and become very close and 
personal friends with maestros Nestor Ray, Carlos Gavito, and Ricardo Vidort. 
(rest in piece guys) and to appreciate other great dancers who drive me to want to 
dance better. For the way I dance now and express my feelings, special people 
to me stand out. for that I'm grateful to Robert Hauk, Oscar Casas, 
Christopher and Caroline, and many many more.
But I think the best thing I'm thankful for, because of tango the many close 
friends I now have at home and around the world. The people who keep coming to 
my classes and milonga each week, Jon & Merna, Bob, Bonnie, Andri & Noami, 
and best of all Chandra. (if I left you name out, I'm sorry) For all this, I'm a 
very wealthy man.
Happy Thanksgiving to All
