Heading into this long weekend, with all the stress and trumoil in the world around us, I thought I'd reflect a bit on the things I have to be thankful for.
First and foremost MY DAUGHTER! She is truly the greatest gift I have ever received. Nothing in my life would mean anything without her.
MY HEALTH. I am blessed to have very good health. When I see many my own age afflicted with so many different conditions or even passing away I feel blessed to have my health.
I am thankful for all the people in my life who love and support me. Like most I have gone through some dark and troubling times in my life and the only thing that has gotten me through those times has been the love and support of my family and friends.
I am thankful to GOD that for wahtever reason he kept me on the straight and narrow especially in my younger days. When so many of my friends were straying off the right path and I could have as well, for some reason I did not. Unfortunately so many of those childhood friends are now either dead or in jail and I could be one of them if not for a decision here or there.
I am thankful for having a strong MOTHER, who despite being left on her own with 4 kids to look after stayed strong and always reminded us to do the right thing.
I am thank ful for my STEPDAD who came into my life when I was most impressionable and taught me how to be a MAN.
I am thankful for being fortunate enought to have found a career I love and can make a very good living at. It's like being paid to do something I'd likely do for free.
I am thankful to live in the best country in the world and for all those 1000's of people who gave their lives so my daughter and I could live free.
Cheers
