Thanksgiving Thoughts

“Develop an attitude of gratitude,

and give thanks for everything that happens to you,

knowing that every step forward is a step toward

achieving something bigger and better

than your current situation.”

~ Brian Tracy

I love this quote... but some times have a hard time staying true to it.
Here are a few of the things I am thankful for today:

• For my wonderful husband Mike
• For my parents who love me and support my decisions
• For my extended family
• For my church families in Alaska and in Minnesota
• For all our friends
• For our Kitty, Java
• For the jobs that both Mike and I have
• For our new apartment
• For a warm place to sleep at night
• For the bounty of food we have in the cupboards
• For the warm clothes in our closets
• For our cars which get us to point A to B
• For our Sunday School kids who bring a smile to my face every week
• For the youth we work with on Wednesday nights who keep us young
• I am thankful for the time I had with Callen

Still with all this to be thankful for, I sit here and wonder why Callen is not here.  I miss him tons.  I wish he was here. I am thankful for all the great times I had with him.  His smile, his hugs, his love for life, his love for music and his love of God.  I am thankful for the difference Callen is still making, even when he is gone. 

Happy Thanksgiving... Love you Callen
