Time to be thankful

I should be thankful everyday for what I have in life. However, sometimes I forget due to the day to day things. It is nice to have moments in our lives that remind us to be thankful.

Griffin and I recently got back from our visit to California. It was nice to see family again. My uncle passed away and that was very sad. However, that only made it more meaningful to see family again.

My dad is still not feeling very well. We keep encouraging him to be strong. He has a few more appointments to determine all his ailments. We know for sure that he will need a heart bypass. Hopefully that is all that is wrong with his health. After losing my uncle, I can't imagine losing my dad. I am thankful that he is still here with us.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. For sure I will be very thankful for a good meal. Most of all I am thankful for my son, my family, and all my friends. I have had a very good life and and I am very thankful. Somehow, I have always managed to get by even when it seemed daunting.

As a new new year approaches and the present year comes to an end, I wish everyone much happiness and success.
