Giving Thanks



Thanksgiving, what a wonderful time of year. Fall is in full swing packing a chill in the air, leaves rustle under foot, darkness creeps in ever sooner with each passing day. It is a time in which nature rests and prepares for the looming winter months. It is from nature's weariness that I draw wonder, this is a time of year that nourishes my soul. All the better reason to stop and take pause and be appreciative and thankful from my heart for the many blessings that my life holds.

For me that past year has gone by incredibly fast, it seems like my daughter was just born and now she is over seven months old. In my mind's yesterday, my son was just learning to walk and speak, now he is flourishing into our little man. It even seems that time is beginning to show itself in our dogs, while they never lack for energy I see gray hair more and more in Grace, and Abby is becoming more like a piece of furniture by the day. None the less the blessings are plentiful, and the wonders many.

When I think about what I am thankful for, my wife immediately comes to my mind. It is my honor to share each day with her, in the hopes that I may fill her heart with the love that she fills mine with. Mi amor, tu eres mi corazon, mi alma, mi vida, y mi todo. Together we have begun filling our home into the home of a family, thank you!

My son and my daughter, there are no words that could ever do justice to describing how thankful I am for both of you. I learn from you both each day just how wonderful and amazing life is, thank you.
