As we recover from another Tour of Missouri, I am reminded of just how lucky I am. I have so much to be thankful for, and it is nice to have a day to focus on just that. While my thankfulness might be a few days late, due to Black Friday shopping and traveling hassles, it has arrived. Better late than never.
I am most thankful for my 3 healthy children. They are happy, well adjusted, smart, funny little people. I feel they each have true potential to make the world a better place. Carson might be some type of inventor or engineer. Maisy has true medical potential. Knox...hmmm...something rough or funny or nudist in nature. :)
I am thankful for the health of those I love. The older I get the more I appreciate this. Peace of mind and sound body are priceless. Thank you for good genes and medical advancements.
Being employed is also a blessing. At a time when there seems to never be enough work for those that want it, I am ever mindful of "getting" to go to work. It isn't always easy getting out of bed before 5 and leaving my sleepy babies, but I hope my motivation and dedication seep into their inner being and give them strength to get going when they don't want to.
The more I learn about the world, and the more our little piece of it changes, I appreciate the freedoms I have been given here. I cannot imagine living any other way. Thank you for all of our freedoms.
I guess the real point is that I appreciate all I have been given. I have caught myself wondering how I could be so lucky a lot lately. I hope in some way I give back some of the goodness that has been given to me.
