Be Thankful

Well it’s that time of year again.  The Thanksgiving Day weekend.  (almost sounds like a contradiction)  I hear and read about 2 popular subjects regarding Thanksgiving:  Food and shopping.  I do agree that those two subjects are on my mind as well.  However, this is not what I am writing about today.  I ask myself this question, “What am I really thankful for?”

This makes me ponder and think for what I do have in my life.  This also reminds me not to take my blessings for granted.  Also, I am making it my personal goal to be a grateful person throughout the year.

So, let us remember this year to be thankful.

Alright, who said, “Let it snow!”?  Today, we got a record 14 inches of snow.  In fact, they said it was a blizzard!  Too much for me.  Our drive way is covered up to my garage door with at least a foot of snow.  Then there is a drift under the overhang that makes it impossible to pull out of my garage.

I know it sounds crazy:  which is worse?  The mild drought we are in, or the road construction on I-44?  From one point of view, the drought has helped avoid weather related delays on the construction going on around town.  I can hardly wait until I get the Yale exit ramp back from  eastbound traffic on I-44, and the westbound I-44 entrance ramp from Yale.  However, I know how important it is that this drought ends soon.  I know I can’t have it both ways.  Just wish I could.  ;)
