for the quite, slow wake up with coffee at hand, the warm shower awaiting me, the shopping trip at the store in the middle of the night having the produce dept all to myself buying more than I need cause I can, the starbucks lady smiling as she made my order just right, my bartender smiling as she made me the best cup of coffee in denver, my total gym that has helped me to present myself how I would like to be seen, my doc who found what noone else cared to take the time, having vaccum lines in the carpet when I come home, my BFF who is sweet, sexy,eyes that see right into my soul, a smile that makes you weep and loves me for me, new ink cause I will never have enough even though full sleeves are almost done, having a community with friends that love me a great bar, great bookstore, tatt shop, playspace all within that community,
All of you all on the planet, having a place of my own and a better place just waiting for me, oooppppssss gotta shower then work to be contuined........

I'm thankful for Saturday that will contain a long walk and some quiet, happy, lazy moments with my best girlfriend.

for plans that honor and cherish our family
for the safe drive back
for the time together to come.

THE BAND IS BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!!!
 

Maureen just came home today from her summer job...now we get ready for preparation for Medical School...We don't have too much time left with our kids, but today was wonderful...

Maureen came home at 10 am, and she and I hunkered down in the big bed to watch trashy TV on VH1 and TLC, and she fell asleep around 2-ish...and I stayed awake to listen to her breathe...

Katie popped in and out while busy working on her art, and Doreen got her gear and uniform ready for work...and today I was thankful for this...

At about 11:15 today, in my bedroom, I had two kids, two dogs, the love of my life, and 3 crazy little cats...all under the same roof again.

I don't brag about much, but I will brag about this...I built this. The perfect family. The only thing that would have made this better would have been to have future son-in-law, war hero Andrew here too, along with Honor...Of course the back bedroom isn't big enough for me, Doreen, Maureen, Katie, Pontoffel Pok, Neefa Fefa, Mikey Simon, Buddy, Georgia, a retired Thoroughbred, and a Marine...

Thankful for... the walking meditation that is my beach..

She called me last night from her hotel. As we were getting ready to hang up she got quiet, and I could tell she was crying. I asked her what was wrong. She asked me if I believed that she loved me. In just two short months we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary. I love you is so small, too small, a thing to say for all that I feel.

I am so very proud of the woman that she is, confident and strong in herself....I build things....things that matter today but in 50 years will have evolved to another technology and forgotten.........but her?....... she puts her hands on people and heals them.... not just physically but emotionally too. That is just so amazing to me that someone can do that, called to do it, born to do it. I am in awe of her. She is kind, and gentle, and someone I'd like to be a lot more like.

I remember the first night we really talked. She told me that she had MS and that she didn't normally tell people right away, but she really liked me and that she wanted me to really understand what the future would hold. I knew from the very first day that my heart was going to break. She has been very blessed to have had good health so far. Tomorrow is not promised to us I know. I am thankful for right now, this very second. I would not take a lifetime with someone else in trade for our almost 10 years.

...and here she is worried about whether or not that I know that she loves me.

I am grateful that she does

I am thankful for my continued ability to be patient when the idiocy around me rises so high I can't see anything else.

Love this
 

I have no patience & it's one of those things I work on daily. I have finally come to believe & realize that patience truly is a virtue & does pay off.

Music
My Soul ....... it moves me at just the right time and in just the right ways

I'm thankful for:

The ability to remain 39 for the last however many years.

The drive & devotion that allows me to do whatever I have to in order to help a friend or family member.

The fact that I have no filter when it comes to defending those who cannot or will not defend themselves.

The fact that I no longer get hangovers.

That I'm a rather diverse/perverse kinda guy.

Central air conditioning.
