Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I think we would all agree, and some of you have written, about how we sometimes do more complaining than thanking in our daily lives. I include myself in that bunch and always promise to do less but yet it is not always the easiest thing to do. It's too bad that we sometimes wait until the last Thursday in November to stop and give thanks for all we have. That "L" word, you know "life" seems to always find a way to grab your thoughts and turn them sour. Well, not today at least. Today, let's give thanks. I'll start my list with the one who should matter most.
- Dear God, thank you for your son and his sacrifice.
- Julie, thank you for being my wife and being a good mother to our two boys.
- Jackson and Nathan, thank you for being such great sons and providing me with joy every day.
- Angel Belle and Paco. Thanks for being good dogs and learning how to go outside to do your business. :-)
- Mom and Dad. Thanks for being such loving, wonderful parents. I miss being with you all today and dad's grilled turkey.
- Jack and Martha, I couldn't have asked for more wonderful in-laws. Thank you. And Martha thanks for agreeing to make fried oysters for Christmas!!
- Mike, Chris, Anne, and John. We don't often say thanks or really that we love each other as often as we should. I want you all to know that I do love you all and wish we could get together more often.
- To all my extended family. Distance keeps us apart but know that you are always in my heart. Thank you for being a part of my family.
- To the President. Thank you for making tough decisions. Maybe not always the right ones but you have kept us safe since 9/11. Thank you.
- To our men and women in uniform. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to keep us and others safe.
- To all my Friends. Thanks for being a part of my life in some way, shape or form.
I know I am thankful for more in my life but it's the people that I am most thankful for. So Happy Thanksgiving and may we all be more thankful, more often in the coming year!
