As I am sitting here this morning in the stand watching the sun come up over the horizon my mind foes to the holiday that we are celebrating today and all the blessings in my life. I thought it would be nice to just itemize a few of the things that I am thankful for.
I AM THANKFUL FOR.........
1. Relationships. The relationship that I have with my creator. The relationship with my awesome and caring wife. The relationship with my two children. The relationship with my parents, sisters, nieces and nephews. Also the relationship with all my fellow TOOzers.
2. My home. Not just the house I love in bit also thos beautiful county and country that we live in and love. I know there is plenty we can bitch about in our country and the way things are going, but I still believe this is by far the best country to live in on the face of this planet.
3. The things in life we so easily take for granted. It is so easy to get caught up in all the crap that consists of our "daily grind" we can tend to overlook the small things that when we stop and think about them they mean so much to us. I can't remember out of the 12672 days that I have woken up that my eyes didn't see when I opened them. Or my legs and arms didn't move when I tried, or my ears couldn't hear (although my wife would argue this one). Also just the wink of an eye or a smile from a loved one. It seems so small yet means so much.
4. I am also thankful for my hobby of hunting and the outdoors that it happens in. I am thankful for the family (TOO) that I share this passion and hobby with.
5. Food! I will be very thankful for all the wonderful meals I will partaking in today.
I encourage you all to just tale a few minutes and reflect on some specific items you are thankful for and share them. I also think this could be a thread that carries on through out the year as we have plenty to be thankful for all year round.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TOO!
