If anyone had told me that I would still be so absurdly in love with my wife almost thirteen years after we met, I would have spilled my drink. But here I am waiting for her to come home, texting her the grocery list, and I honestly just can't get over it.

My life hasn't always been perfect, and I've made some decisions that were certainly not particularly well thought out at the time. Nevertheless, all of those decisions led me into her path. How could I not be thankful?

Although it's not my home, it's a coworker's... and I'm just a guest ... but thankful to come into a quiet beautiful home where I can detox from the day. It's just me here for now, with a pompom puppy and the pizza my friend left for me. Thankful I have friends that care.

Thankful for

The family here on the planet

Very thankful for friends that always stand by me and never leave my side. Extremely thankful for the friend that took me to the hospital and never left me, then took me home caring for my every need. It's chosen friends that have become family. It's those family members that have touched my life and taught me what compassion is.

I'm thankful for a home away from home to recover.

These kids that are not mine by birth, but are mine nonetheless, and a very sweet bubbagirl that doesn't feel good, so wanted cuddles.

I am very thankful that everyone in my family is healthy. Watching a friend go through a tremendous health scare with his wife has made my partner and I both feel extra blessed.

You never know how truly blessed you are until you are faced with a potentially life threatening health issue.

For finding Him...

I am very thankful that this week has went smoothly. I am also thankful that my parents and Ginger are doing well even though I am not at home to care for them. The week is quickly coming to a close and all has been wonderful. I am thankful for my privilege of being able to receive a very good education from people who teach because the subject and teaching are both passions of theirs. I am blessed to have wonderful classmates and the ability to pick up on the material very quickly. Most of all I am thankful that my practicum site finally settled the agreement with the college and I begin my hours on Monday or Tuesday. I return the car rental on Monday morning, but this trip has been fabulous. I am truly blessed and thankful for it ALL.

Thankful to the Goddess/God that I'm still strong and made it to my 58th birthday today without having any major accidents or medical problems.:praying:
