What I'm thankful for

This Thanksgiving is the beginning of Jacob's first Holiday Season. It is time to take into consideration all of the things I am thankful for:
My family - without them my life would have no direction or meaning. I have received immeasurable help from my family all of my life and now even more.
My friends - what can I say that could ever be enough to thank them? I have always valued my friends, but I really never appreciated it like I do now. From my Brothers in my Lodge to the friends and acquaintances I have made in my 43 years. I have never appreciated how much a kind word or uplifting phrase could lift my spirits. Friends are the currency of life and I am wealthy with them.
My son's caring staff - over the last year, Jacob has had the finest staff in the world waiting on him.  I have lost count of the doctors, nurses and techs (and thank you for the comment last week) that have helped him at every turn and bump in the road.
Cigna and AFLAC - I don't mean to make this a plug for the insurance companies, but without them I would be in one helluva hole.
My boss and my wife's - for being so understanding when I have to take a day off on short notice for an unseen doctor's appontment.
Many people have lost the meaning of Thanksgiving but I will never. Thank you for following this blog. I hope I can help or inspire someone somewhere.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
