328- Happy Thanksgiving

This has been a rough year. My wife got deployed to the war in Afghanistan, my father passed away, all the kids are away at college or moved out and we had our cat put to sleep. Yes a rough year... but still I am Thankful.

My wife returned on Halloween night. Safe and sound.

I was able to visit my father before he had the surgery that he had complications from. Saw him in full health and energy. I will remember him that way.

Lots of good things have been happening:

We have our health and the love of family.

I still have a job (two of them) and my wife and three children are all employed.

We have a (non-leaking) roof over our heads and food in our bellies.

These are the things jumping into my face right now- but there are plenty of others that if I could sit and think about it I could write down.

Happy Thanksgiving and remember the story about the half glass of water...

An optimist thinks it is half full
A pessimist thinks it is half empty
and an engineer thinks it is twice as big as it needs to be.
