Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
To all of you – even those of you who don’t have a “Thanksgiving Day” – I hope that the day is safe, fun and full of the joy of friends and family. What am I thankful for? I’ve been blessed with more wonderful things than I could count, but among the things I am most thankful for are:
- A wonderful wife who loves – and puts up with – me
- A great family
- My friends
- My health
- Having a job when so many others are struggling to either find work or to make ends meet
- Having a safe place to live
- Having the means to acquire the things I need, as well as some of the things I just “want”
I’m sure that I could make a list that goes on and on, but suffice it to say: I have many things for which I am thankful today.
Last night, SaraRules and I made a chocolate cream pie for this afternoon’s dessert; this morning, we’re getting ready to make a sweet potato pie. (CORRECTION: SaraRules already did most of the “heavy lifting,” but I got to help with the last few bits.)Â In the not-too-distant future, we’ll head over to her parents’ for dinner and football and general “hanging out with the family.” Somewhere in there, we might even watch a movie or two.

Namaste.
