This time of year everyone is asking “for what are you thankful?” (okay, so they actually say something like “what are you thankful for” but I chose the proper grammar version of the interrogative.) It is not my intent to be ordinary or trite; thus instead of asking the standard questions, I’d like to make people think in a little different way.

The other day I was thinking about one thing in particular that I was lacking and I thought “what would I give up for that?” Like, would I give up chocolate for sex? Would I give up sleep for a few quiet hours of undisturbed work time?

So, what would you sacrifice? How far would you go? For what do you yearn?

So, would you:

give up potatoes
give up chocolate
give up sleep
give up your favorite food
give up your favorite dessert
give up your favorite recreational activity
give up your favorite tv show
give up sex
give up a once in a lifetime opportunity
give up Hannah Montana tickets (you get the best of both worlds, chill it out take it slow, then you rock out the show)
give up someone you love
give up your career
give up your job
give up your favorite shoes
give up something new
give up one of your five senses
give up your worst fear
give up hugs
give up kisses
give up meat (Thanksgiving will be hard for me)
give up electricity
give up your reputation
give up your identity
give up plumbing
give up your pet
give up your car/truck

give up hope
give up shopping
give up despair

other

    I’m sure as hell not giving up meat. I practically gave up cigars for sex and look where that got me. I’m done giving things up for other people.

    You don’t have to give things up for other people. Sometimes you give them up for yourself.

    I’d give up none of the above?? I mean, I suppose I’ve given up sex to get my life back. Does that count?? It has made me happier!!
