Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I believe in a positive outllok, despite how easy it is to jump in and criticize everything. I certainly have a lot to be thankful for! Last year, we had our first Thanksgiving in Children's hospital fearing the worst for our lil' boy. This year, we are home, as a family. I was taught my whole life that children are a blessing; but enduring the frustrations that all of our kids give us, at times most of us would question that , but I just want to say to cherish those lil' hellians. I've enjoyed watching my boy growing and learning during his first year of school. Running and playing. Eating and sleeping well. Little things that we all take for granted. We changed up our dune setup this year. We bought a 5er and sold our old bus. My wife is especially thankful for that . Work has improved, and is keeping me busy again. At times, too busy..., but thankful to be supproting my family in this economy. Last night, we were coming home on the fwy and came up on a motorcycle accident. The bike was destroyed. It got ran over by a truck. The dude was ok, but shredded up a bit. Did what I could to help until other arrived, but left thinking wow, Thanksgiving will be a thankful time for him from now on...but then realized, it depends on his outlook, and how he reacts to the reality of the situation. It made me reflect a little. We have a tradition around the dinner table every year, of everyone saying something they are thankful for; I'm wondering if anyone else has anything they are thankful for?

I am thankful that my biggest problem today will be figuring out what to do with leftovers. I am thankful that I can afford the luxury of the dunes. I am thankful for a wife that tolerates me 51% of the time. (Can't afford to let that one dip below 50%!) I am thankful for a kid who still thinks that her dad is Superman. I am thankful for Honeybaked Ham. Seriously, it comes a close second to bacon. I am thankful for this (mostly) drama-free site (thanks Pete!). Have a great day everybody!

I'm thankful we only have four more years of Osama. Unless of course by executive order he declares himself the supreme dictator. Let us pray...

That is probably how he broke it off lol..
