I'm Thankful...

Thanksgiving Day, 2008. A time to be with family and a time to be thankful.

I'm thankful.

I'm thankful for my wife, Kathy. We only met 7 years ago and we both carried a lot of baggage from previous, uh, experiences like ex-wives and ex-husbands. Together, starting from scratch, we created a comfortable life for ourselves. Now we live in a really nice RV, travel the country exploring places and seeing things that most people never have the chance to see or do. "Living the dream" as some people would say.

I'm thankful for our kids. Like most kids in their 20's, they're still "finding themselves" but all in all, they're GREAT kids. Justin is in great health, and Nicole, who has crones, has THAT under control, so life is good for them too. They just don't know it yet. HA!

I'm thankful for OUR health too. Getting old DOES suck, but we're not too bad off. We both can still get around well.

I'm thankful for the life I've lived so far. I can stand before my God anytime and still have my honor intact. Hopefully, He'll give me (us) a few more years in this world.

I'm just a thankful guy today. A very lucky, thankful guy!
