Thinking on Thanksgiving Eve.

So I'm setting here, on the eve of Thanksgiving, trying to decide what I'm thankful for. After all this has been such a "wonderful" year so far. I think there are a few things I can say that I'm thankful for but probably not what you would expect.

I'm thankful that, because of circumstances, I had to drop to a Supervisor position at work. Why am I thankful for that. Simple. I get to enjoy my time with the children. I get to have movie night with them. I get to see their expressions when they "get" the math problem they have been working on. I get to see their most resent masterpiece before anyone else. Yes, we are still working on some of patience issues, actually my patience issues, but we are doing well.

I'm also thankful for my muse showing me that it may be time for a career change. Don't panic, I'm not going to leave my job without having some sort of safety net. I am, however, going to move forward with The Arts Care. I have told a few people of my idea and have received some very positive feed back. Over the next couple of months I'm going to be filling out the paperwork to get this project started. I feel that this is a project that I will enjoy and that Christa would approve of.

I'm thankful that I can fill tears want to fall when I think about Christa. They remind me that my better half is no longer in pain and is at peace. And, on occasion, she stops to check in on us and if necessary points me toward new directions.

Now it is your turn. What are you thankful for? Before you post a comment take a minute and really examine what has occurred in your life this year. What has made the most positive impact on you?

Peace and Good Cheers,
Marty
