Wednesday Gratitude

I am joining a friend who last year started a Wednesday Thanksgiving countdown.We are posting 5 things we are thankful for. What a wonderful idea that I am excited to participate in! So here is my first list…..

  • My beautiful wife and daughter, they provide me with joy, security, and happiness
  • My strange pets. They are a ton of fun and…………well, strange!
  • This magnificent state of Georgia
  • My ability to communicate,  my passion is expressed through this gift
  • The autumn breeze, I love the change of season!

Thank you for the suggestion. This will be a wonderful reminder of what is important. Will you join us?

Great Responses

Thank you to all who responded to the last post! Hopefully all of you read each other’s responses, I found all of them interesting. Sandra helped me a lot by replacing “instill” with “nurture.” As a parent, my role is to nurture my child’s growth. I love that and thank you.

As I am acclimating to the European time zone, I have much more time to reflect. I am unbelievably excited about this upcoming experience. To be able to share it with my wife and daughter is the best part. Having never left the continent, I am looking forward to noticing the differences between home and Germany.

I will post as often as I can while we are away( pictures and all), it will be fun to share with all of you. In the mean time, check out what this blog will look like. It is active but we are in the process of moving this content over. I don’t know how that works but I trust the process!
