I’m sitting here once again watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, having just returned from the airport to pick up Monica’s mom. They sure do like plugging the NBC shows on here. And they also like showing me all the Broadway shows that I’ve never heard of, but at least I can look at the balloons. It will be cool in December to actually visit the Macy’s store where this is all taking place. They have an entire floor of just Christmas stuff.
Time to reflect on things for which I am thankful.
- I’m thankful that God has provided so much for us, and kept us safe and healthy over the last year.
- I’m thankful to share Thanksgiving with family: from my parents and stepparents to my uncle and aunt and other extended family.
- I’m thankful that Monica’s Mom could fly down and join us and that she arrived safely this morning.
- I’m thankful that Monica has done so well in school this last year and half, and that she is well on her way to being a real-life registered nurse.
- I’m thankful for having parents that have worked so hard and are now able to retire and enjoy their well-deserved time off for the rest of their lives.
- I’m thankful that we live in the greatest country that has every existed, and that in every generation since 1775, we have had young men volunteer to preserve our freedoms.
And last but certainly not least…
- I’m thankful for Hokie football. 🙂
The list could go on and on, and I’m certainly thankful for more than I could write here, but you get the gist of it.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
