Just a few of the things I’m thankful for … in no particular order …
- two happy, healthy children
- a job I love
- an awesome boss
- a roof over my head
- plenty of good food for our table
- a warm, comfortable bed to sleep in at night
- in-laws that aren’t crazy (unless you call liking me crazy)
- a pastor who is down-to-earth, approachable, human and inspiring
- people like my brother-in-law who put themselves in harm’s way for we can live with the freedoms we value so much
- a wonderful, beautiful wife who loves me and doesn’t drive me crazy
- parents who taught me the value of hard work, a good education and instilled me with common sense
- coworkers who value my opinions and skills and aren’t afraid to share their own
- friends who are supportive and pleasant
- online tools that have enabled me to make new friends, get in touch with old ones and stay in touch with all
- the gorgeous sunsets visible out my windows at home
- the freedom and resources to pursue my hobbies
- my health
- that my wife would rather bake cookies all day than brave the craziness that is black Friday retail
I’m sure there are many more things that I’m thankful for, but it’s been a long day. :) Time to go keep my wife company and fall asleep to the sounds that our small son makes while he’s sleeping.
