Hey I can't figure out how to convert the below circuit into its thevenin equivalent. I am used to having two points to work with, but in this circuit there is only one and a ground.

im still confused about the +5 V end, can you actually show me?
 
There is a voltage source connected there. I made a new drawing, find the Thevenin equivalent between A and B.
