Giving Thanks

Last week the nation remembered to be thankful for the creation of our union to this land and it's original inhabitants. Hopefully, the majority of people celebrating the great holiday extended that thankfulness to current events and situations. I cannot make an exhaustive list of what I'm thankful for. Will never happen. I would never get done with my list...

In that thought, I AM thankful for being together with my family on that special day - Watching my kids play with Grampy (who has been living away for 13+ months) - Seeing extended family that I so rarely get to enjoy - Resting at home after traveling and watching the snow fall down like rain - Pulling the Christmas decorations out and seeing the excitement in the boy's eyes as we went through the items that will remind us of another great holiday.

The more I think of all the things for which I'm thankful, the shorter my list of complaints or aggravations gets. It's kinda funny how it works that way, huh?
