Our
Thanksgiving tradition is to state three things for which we are thankful. The
person that goes first doesn’t have to worry about repeating someone else’s
thankful and having to come up with a new on the fly. So here are the three
things I’m thankful for this year.
1.
The love and support of an amazing wife for the last nearly 35 years. I know I
can be a bit of a trial sometimes, and I’ve certainly given her ample reminders
of that, but she keeps on keeping me on track. Sarah has been the prime factor in
raising:
2. Two great sons who have turned into
fine, productive, self sufficient, responsible, contributing men. They're still
work in progress (aren’t we all?) but looking to the future, there’s no doubt
that these guys will leave a mark.
3. Finally, I thankful that I’ve learned
to be grateful for what I have, which is abundant, and not to worry about what I don’t have and probably never will. I’m healthy, I live in a nice house,
I eat and drink well, and have a degree of security that most people in the
world can only imagine.
Life
is good.
