November 8 Thursday

It's Thursday and today I'm thankful for
 - as everyday, my loving, supportive, understanding wife.  She stands with me, encourages me, and believes in me.  When I'm grouchy, in a funk, and down right ticked off, she patiently listens, wisely chooses her words, and picks my spirits up off the ground.  If I wasn't going home to her, I may not bother to go home!
 - my brilliant children, that they are healthy! They are growing and learning every day!
 - my God who has blessed us abundantly.
 - our future, it's bright!  Where are the sunglasses?

November 5 Monday

I'm so thankful for, so blessed by, my wife, my loving, beautiful, precious wife.  She stands by me, supports me, believes in me.  Just hearing her say "It'll all work out" gives me confidence and belief.  I am stronger because of her.  I don't know where I'd be without her.  I love her!
